DIY window wood coffee table with storage showcase
Learn how to build your own unique DIY old window wood coffee table with storage showcase, perfect for showcasing your favorite items or keeping clutter at bay!
Tools:
- Bosch variable speed orbital sander (optional)
Supplies:
- 1 Old window in reasonably sound condition
- Reclaimed wood boards and a square post
- Painter's tape
- Measuring tape
- Kreg Jig pocket hole maker
- Fusion Mineral Paint - Raw Silk (get 10% off)
- Wider paint brush like this Palm Pro
- 3 Butt hinges
- 1 Door pull
Instructions:
- Remove all flaking paint off the window, then sand.
- Tape off the window panes to prepare it for paintining.
- Paint the window in Raw Silk (or colour of choice)
- Create a rectangle box frame the same size as the window. Cut, then sand all the wood before assembling with screws.
- Fill the bottom of the box with planks. Place cut-to-size boards inside the box, then attach with screws from the outside sides, or predrill holes into both ends of the filler boards with a Kreg Jig (which is what I did) so you don't see any screws.
- Create table legs by cutting down a smaller square posts. Decide on table height desired minus box frame with window = leg length. To install, old the leg on the outside of the box, then attach with screws from inside.
- Place window on box frame, then attach together using 3 small butt hinges.
- Add a door pull to the other side of the window so you can easily open the showcase.
- Tip: Use a serving tray placed on top of the window's wood frame for the most durable and easy to clean surface.
