Custom Mid-Century Side Tables

This DIY Side Table Design Has a Hidden Storage Compartment

— December 20, 2016 — Art & Design
This elegant side table was created as part of a project between the designer and blogger Ashley Rose and 'Lowe's' – designed for Sugar and Cloth's studio renovation series.

The side table is inspired by mid-century designs and has an endearing appeal that fuses vintage styles with a more modern one. The table requires materials that include a cake pan, a wooden circle, tapered table legs, leg plates, wood stain and pink and gold spray paint – all of which come together to create a small circular side table. The table's top can slide out to reveal a hidden storage compartment that allows users to keep small items out of sight when they're not in use.

This endearing table design adds some quirky flair to the home without looking like it is part of a DIY project.
