The Young House Love Guide is Ideal for Small Spaces

— October 5, 2012 — Art & Design
Young House Love's DIY console guide is ideal for new home owners. The thin, 12 foot long table can store a hefty amount of books, wires, blankets and other odds and ends, amalgamating them discretely within a single sleek cabinet space.

Those who replicate this design concept will need 27 1 x 4" boards of plain white wood on top of nails, hammers and screws. The planks have also been dyed in the post with dark walnut and ebony-hued stains, although this can of course be tampered with based on personal preferences.

Minimal woodworking skills are required for this Young
House Love unit. While it will take a few days to put together in its entirety, it is well worth the wait for hands-on interior decorators.
