Workin' It.


(Edited to add: Visit this post to get more information on purchasing one of these tables for yourself!)

My awesome husband built me an awesome work table 4-5 months ago.

It's awesome, and perfect.

And I haven't shown pictures off because I wanted to paint it first.

And now 4-5 months later, it's painted, and has pretty vinyl lettering on it.

Whoopsie!














He did such an awesome job. It's more than I hoped for!

  35. The desk is brilliant, I am so short on space and always looking for new ideas. Thanks for the post!

    ReplyDelete

  36. Love it! You should post a tutorial from him.

    ReplyDelete

  37. We jsut built one in my hobby room last month - almost identical to yours. But we want locking hinges to hold the legs in a 90 degree open position when the table is dropped/in use. Did you use anything to stop and hold frame/legs in the open position?

    ReplyDelete

  38. This is an amazing idea!!!! Any how-to instructions by chance? I need this for my very small craft room.

    ReplyDelete

  39. That is genius!!! Is he going to tell us any instructions? We would love him forever!

    ReplyDelete

  40. Oh I love this idea!! Having no extra space for a craft area, something like this would be perfect.

    ReplyDelete

  42. you so need to post some plans! this is an awesome space saving idea!

    ReplyDelete

  43. Perfect for a quick gift wrap center or lower down on the wall as a craft center for a creative little tyke. Thanks for sharing it...cheers!

  49. JUST AWESOME - TOO COOL / TOO SMART - REALLY - ARE YOU GOING TO POST THE "HOW TO" ?? WE ALL WANT IT :))

    ReplyDelete

  50. Oh my goodness!! Thank you so much for this post! I have seen the idea of a table from a large picture and I will be doing that in our kitchen for a buffet table. When I saw this post on Pinterest I went wild with ideas!! My MIL will be making her table just like your post but I want to put one in my son's room with a lego top where the green lego boards are glued to it. I was also thinking about making the table a false top so it can be removed and flipped over and he can have a flat surface for Army men or cars or homework or whatever. I don't think I would put the shelves in his so the lego creations can fit in the space when he folds up the table. THANKS for the great idea!! I hope others go crazy and make it work for them too. So many possibilities!!

  51. WOW, that is really cool! Can't wait for the video tuturial.

  56. This is a fantastic work table! This is inspiring! I just moved my studio from our basement to our second bedroom that had been wasted space. We live in a super small row house in Baltimore so I've been struggling with ways to organize all of my supplies into such a small space. This may be just the trick! Thanks so much for this!

  59. Shut up, I saw this on Pinterest and thought it was the best idea ever! I wish I would have realized it was you before we got to creative estates because I would have made you tell me all about it! SO cool.

    ReplyDelete

  60. I just got a 12 x 24 building as my studio and needed inspiration on decorating and placing tables in it. I love this idea, thanks for sharing.

    ReplyDelete

  61. My husband built this for me 28 years ago as a sewing table. I loved it.

    ReplyDelete

  62. Okay I love the table but need more info. Here's why....we just got a cottage, our "Hobbit House" I have a smaller breakfast nook that also doubles as a laundry room on one end. My hubby is WILLING (thats amazing) to build a breakfast table" the same way. we just found the brackets online but need more construction info. Can you help??? (private email ddavid1961@gmail.com)

    This is just wonderful!!! He did a great job and I love how the picture frame is used for the legs! Brilliant

    ReplyDelete

  64. I LOVE this ... & have come up with a few other ways it can be used, especially in my home .. Here are just some of the uses ... :-)


    Laundry - folding table … could even be placed above the washing machine, even if it's a top-loader.

    Kitchen - spare table for one with space in the 'wall shelving' for sauces, etc.
    Kitchen - work bench

    Walk-in robe - pc desk

    Bathroom - beside bath bench with space too keep items handy for 'special items' for a luxurious bath

    Guest Room - desk space for guests

    Guest Room - bench for above floor suitcase storage - a towel rail on the 'door' would also allow space for a damp towel & a rail underneath would allow extra hanging space …

    Guest Room - Put a picture frame on the 'legs' & use the middle space as a backing board for a painting.

    Office - Put a cork board, peg board, or pretty notice board onto the front. Frame the 'legs' with a picture frame.
