Card Catalog End Table

A table top card catalog gets a new life as an end table with some repurposed legs from a mid-century modern record cabinet. We received this card catalog several years ago from a former employer who sat it on her table and used as an organizer for her personal library. When it was given to us, we thought it would be much better suited as an end table. So, with some legs given to us by a friend and some screws and table brackets purchased from a local hardware store, we were ready to start making the table. It was a pretty simple project that mainly involved drilling the holes for the brackets and legs and attaching the legs to the card catalog with screws. Just remember to make sure that the screws are not too long or else the bottom drawers won’t open. The best part about this end table is that you have a whole bunch of drawers to organize and keep smaller random items out of sight.

Dollhouse Furniture From Found Objects Part 2

We’ve added some more found object dollhouse furniture to our collection. We found some strange Ikea hardware that looked like modern miniature couches. We attached some nails with our favorite super strong craft glue E-6000, and we ended up with some cool mid-century modern looking couches and chairs to go with our other homemade pieces. If you use nails though, I suggest filing down the tips, so your little ones don’t step on them.
