This DIY live edge console table is the perfect addition to the space. Which makes this wall and part of the living room useless in spite of it’s massive size.

I would never put the sofa on this wall or the TV because of the closeness to the front door.
It is the wall directly in front of our front door and is the main entrance to our home. This wall is also pretty much an unsuable space as well. Unlike a lot of our other furniture that gets climbed on, sat on and abused this is more or less untouched. The one benefit that has helped this is that the table does not get a lot of action other than setting keys and purse/wallet on it. Initially when I made this DIY live edge table I worried it was a ticking time bomb to split completely.

I am happy to report that this crack in the wood has not gotten any bigger or been a problem at all. The wood also feels like it is driftwood that you could find at the beach, which goes along perfectly with my coastal decorating style! Even though this particular wood was found in a barn sale in Wisconsin. This table is the perfect example of that, paired next to the white wainscoting the rustic and dark feel to this warms up the space nicely.
Dale loves rustic decor and I love light and bright decor. I just gravitated to the un-finished and rustic look of this. The details in this live edge table are stunning! When I created it a few years ago anything being labeled “live edge” was not even a thing. Other than that it was quick and painless to create. Also, learn from my mistake and confirm the height beforehand. Using galvanized pipes as the table legs kept this DIY furniture build sooooo easy to do! The steps were as as easy as sanding, spray painting and screwing in. This Easy to make DIY live edge table is a beauty! The width is a little over 1 foot, and 1 inch thick. I was planning on cutting a few feet off. Luckily I changed my mind about halfway through making this table! The board itself is just shy of 7 feet. Truth be told I had initially planned to sand and cut off a lot of the rougher edges pieces, removing most of the beautiful and unfinished look. But I saw the potential and was so excited we found the first piece needed for this easy to make DIY live edge table a reality. I mean on the scale of 1-10 on rustic this is about a 12. There is a lot of knots, and other lovely distressed features. This live edge console table has been the star of the show in my living room! I get questions on it here all the time and people visiting my home always notice this beauty. Going along that theme anything live edge was not called that. Five years ago was a different time in decor rustic meant log cabins and the shiplap craze had not hit yet. This DIY live edge table was my first new build furniture item ever! I even went with the “live edge” without knowing what it was called. So I will be giving life to older projects and am starting with this Easy to make DIY live edge table!
I have also learned a lot in terms of decorating and taking pictures. Today I am sharing one of my first ever DIY projects! With my blog being 5 years old I have a ton of older content that gets lost in the archives.
