Sorry to start off my post with a potty mouth but, I'm quite proud tonight of my new side table!!
I have wanted one of the following tables for who know how long! I've spend months coming up with ideas to re-create it and in all reality I was totally over thinking it! For a long time I envisioned I would have to create it from complete scratch, instead after seeing the above picture it reminded me of my old crappy ikea coffee table. Remember my post here? Saying I was going to do a coffee table, well I ended up replacing my side table instead!
Clayton Grey - Bungalow 5 Table - $455
Another nail head table at Clayton Grey
and another
After much thought today I purchased two ikea lack tables at $7.00 a piece.
Assembling one full table and using the table top from another I had the form I needed to create the table of my dreams. Another plus with the ikea furniture which lets be real, there aren't many. It was made out of particle board and the nail heads drove right in with out bending. If you can, I would find an expedit table on craigslist, which there don't make anymore. It has a nice table top glass and a modern form.
In Progress:
better resolution pictures coming soon - xo
Ok So you can see my mess ups especially on the bottom left. I ran out of railheads so I have ordered some more to finish the other sides. I realized what i did wrong on the bottom left edge to do it the right way on the other side so it looks better. Maybe I should ad a top of mirror too? :)
*Update, if I were to re-do this table again I would assemble and glue the tables together then, add the nail trim.
Check out my recent updated post for much better pictures. Thanks!
Now THAT is pretty damn fabulous!

That looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteThat is AWESOME! May I ask where you found the nailhead trim?
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE!! You did a great job. Can't wait to re-create. Where did you find the nailheads?
ReplyDeleteI am SO doing this!!! GREAT idea!
ReplyDeleteI love this! I've been coveting that Bunglaow 5 table for ages and I had plans to do a similar Lack hack to recreate the look, so it's great to see one already done that looks so fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI did a Lack hack myself on our coffee table and a couple of these would compliment it very nicely - it's on my blog (and Ikea Hackers) if you're interested: http://prettycitythings.blogspot.com/2011/05/ikea-goes-glam.html

I like yours better than the original! Nice job!

ReplyDeleteThanks!
Wow this is beautiful! I'm moving out for the first time and after adding up the $$ there isn't much left for decorating. I'm so excited to try this hack - thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteFound you through Bromeliad! So excited about following you now..wonderful job too!
ReplyDeleteHi there,
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get the chairs that flank the table? Thanks!
Beautiful! Would love to recreate but question from a newbie DIY-er... what kind of glue did you use to connect the tables, and where could I purchase the nail heads? Thanks in advance!
ReplyDeletelove this idea! I already have 2 of these tables infront of my sofa right now being used as a coffee table, I think I will pick up to more and make a much cooler set! Thanks for this!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous job! And you can't beat the price. good for you. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeletewhoa! awesome! how did you get your nailheads so straight?!
ReplyDeleteim trying to find your updated tutorial on this gorgeous ikea table you did, i want to make it this weekend and need a bit more info, im not finding it though...any info would be helpful. cant seem to find your homepage either.
ReplyDeleteHi there. I am wondering what glue to used to put the two tables together. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThose r awesome - u r a grand creative IKEA HACK JOBBER!!!!! BEAUTIFUL ELEGANT - I'm a new follower
ReplyDeleteDid you paint the table or is that the high gloss white?
ReplyDeleteIf I were you instead of transferring the top to glass, I would spray paint it with the mirror-like spray paint. It would look amazing with your choice of nailheads. Just an opinion. But I love the way it turned out & I think I may actually have to do this. Not sure if it'll match my primitive meets modern decor, but I love the way this turned out.
ReplyDeleteAmazing!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHow do you connect the bottom part to the legs? Lack usually screws in.... Other than than, BEST HACK EVER!
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT! Want to run to IKEA now:)
ReplyDeletePretty idea! Never thought a lot of those Lack tables (except in my early teen days - ha ha!), but you make them look very sophisticated. Thanks for sharing! =)
