How handy are you with a jigsaw?
If I remember correctly, I think this came from Pottery Barn, but it has been so long, my memory has failed me. I do remember looking at that picture and thinking that I could absolutely make this.
We have a jigsaw, and I know that the curves are simple enough that even I could duplicate this pattern. If I go slow enough, I could cut out each of the shapes.
All this would take is a little planning and a lot of patience. If you have a wood worker in the family or access to a jigsaw, there is no reason why you need to pay the money that was being asked for a table like this. I remember the price was just insane. And I kept thinking Oh my goodness, the shapes are so basic, I could do that!
The colors, basic. Painting job, simple to duplicate. Construction, simple with the right nails and/or screws. The whole duplication effort would hinge on getting your hands on a way to cut the shapes. And as long as you could do that, you could make the cutest little tables for someone for Christmas (or really, for any reason under the sun. Why wait for Christmas?).
I am really tempted to try making one of these for my back deck. I could use it as a plant table. I doubt I would paint it pink (in fact, I can guarantee that my Mister would outlaw that particular color on the back deck right now), but I have a fantastic geranium planter that hasn’t died yet (a minor miracle, given my track record with geraniums) that would work perfectly on this.
