evolution of a console table.

 I failed to photograph the originals that resulted in this evolution.

 Its legs came from a crib we found abandoned on a curb.

The top (half-oval) is one half of a coffee table purchased very inexpensively.

(My husband was attracted by its legs and hopes to use them on another project.)

I suggested he saw the top in half and create TWO console or sofa tables.

This is the end result!

Imagine my pleasure to read Abigail Ahern's praise for console tables....

 I’m a bit obsessed with consoles as they have been the biggest game changer in my house. 

Skinny, narrow they flag the walls and enable me to style them up with stacks of books, 

scented candles,  picture frames, lamps, and so forth. 

 The evolution is all finished except for the accessorizing!
AND we're currently searching for four legs for a second console table...
