This mom's END TABLES

So I dabble in woodworking thanks to ana-white.com. We were borrowing end tables from the Johnston's which was so kind of them to loan them to our sparsely furnished home. They had glass on the top though, and the older and more curious the kids got, the more nervous I was to have borrowed end tables. I found the following plans on Ana's website and fell in love. They are small, simple, and unique. I also found this "recipe" for a homemade stain (which I had hoped would turn out more gray, but unfortunately didn't) Weathered Stain. It was still fun to make my own stain, and I may try using it again on something else to get a grayer look from it.

Sorry the first couple are sideways






So I added the stain and it continued to get darker the longer it sat.



My little helper

They are a much warmer color than I wanted but I have thought about painting them eventually




I made the coffee table too, they go together well
