Inexpensive (DIY) Cocktail Tables

This easy table modification all started because we live in cow country and where you have cows, you have flies. They drive me crazy in the summer so I am always looking for ways to deter them. The other day I was at OSH and the sales lady said that most herbs are a natural fly repellent. That got me thinking and this project was born. Now the jury is still out if this works on the flies but I love the end results anyway.

Summer means beach runs, boat rides, and, of course, happy hours—and this year’s selection of trending cocktails is packed with seasonal flavors. From the Dirty Shirley to the Hugo Spritz, and even burrata- and bone broth-based drinks for the more adventurous, these options mean there’s truly something for everyone.

I love creating pieces from cuts of wood with live edges. When my grandfather gave me a piece of oak wood with a stunning live edge, I knew I couldn’t use it for just any old piece of furniture, so it sat in my shed for about ten years. Then inspiration hit, and I knew what I wanted to make with it. Come along and I’ll show you how I made an oak table with a live edge and iron legs.

I made this fun and easy nautical DIY Dollar Store Side Table using some simple items from the Dollar Store, a few items I already had (and a few from Michaels). Here is how I made it.

For small space dwellers, the decision of whether or not to introduce a dining setup into the main living space is always a conundrum. However, I've found the perfect folding table for all apartment owners that want to maximize their living space while also being able to entertain guests.

Ok, I hesitate to post this project because it was SO easy. Like so, so, so, so easy. I feel like I’m sharing a dirty little secret or something. But it’s super cute, sturdy, and I get a TON of compliments on it! So I would say this is definitely a project you can and should tackle. Like today. Make your own outdoor coffee table using wooden pallets and tile. Earn a little DIY street cred. HA!

I had the most beautiful mosaic garden table but at the time didn't understand the importance of covering garden furniture in the winter to protect it.

Summer wouldn’t be the same without cool drinks with friends outside, and what shows off your crafting ability more than a bespoke and personalized DIY cooler made from an old sewing table. Turning an old sewing table into a DIY cooler helps do two things; not only does it provide you with a bespoke and unique cooler for your summer events, but it also helps upcycle something that would otherwise be discarded. For anyone interested in creating something special that will have people talking, look no further than this DIY cooler made from an old sewing table.

I'm going to show you how to create a low table that takes almost no effort to build today.
