On a quick trip to Lowe’s for some last-minute wood stain (coughcoughPinterestChallengecough), I also picked up a slim pine board that seemed juuuuuust the right length for sawing into thirds for another scrap wood project I’ve been meaning to try.
The fact that I picked up a perfectly good board for no other purpose than this means that it’s decidedly not a scrap wood project. But it’s still a pinspired project since I found (and pinned) the idea several months ago. Just not technically a part of last week’s party.
I found even more motivation to go ahead and complete this project thanks to Merrypad, who linked up her version for the Pinterest Challenge link party. So not only was I pinning the original, I was now pinning her version which was also based on the one I first admired.

And about here is where the beer kicked in and I stopped trying to make sense of whether this is a pin of a pin of a pin or ehhh …. whatever, it’s done. Happy Monday!
Love any project that makes enjoying your drink easier. You also are a champion stainer! It looks amazing.
Thanks, Tracie! That sounds dirty when I read it out loud. LOL. But I appreciate it!
This is fantastic! We have a huge sectional in our living room and nowhere to put drinks down. I can see a few of these being added this upcoming weekend! Thank you!
I love it! I have been meaning to make myself one. This definitely seems like an afternoon project. Cheap & easy… just how i like it.
It's a keeper! Yours looks GREAT. Love the finish.
That is brilliant. I have a chair that is decidedly lacking in places to set down a beverage. I may have to do this exact same thing myself. Awesome!
Very nice!
loving it!
Okay, this is kind of awesome! Who doesn't have that piece of furniture that is awkwardly out of reach of a table. Problems solved! LOVE IT! Love your finish too!
Any suggestions regarding an all yellow bathroom? It is fairly small so I was thinking about removing the yellow floor tiles (showing their age and the floor is only about 20 sq ft), and repainting the yellow paint but keeping the yellow square tiles around the shower (since they are in good shape and would be the costliest in terms of time and money).
My problem is what colors for the flooring and paint would go with yellow? I want to keep some flexibility so if more money/time is available down the road I could replace those as well.
Could I use some kind of grayish paint?
Being a single guy (computer profession) I know what I like when I see it but I'm not good at figuring out color schemes.
Thanks.
Rich, I think gray is an excellent choice with yellow. I'd keep it very pale, though. Search for “yellow tile” on Pinterest for some great examples of modern bathrooms with yellow tile. I'd also go with a maybe medium gray floor like this (see the middle of the page): http://www.sasinteriors.net/2012/03/sensational-standard-sized-bathrooms/
This is SOOO brilliant!! I can't wait to do it!

That is a very good idea! I have sofas with very wide chunky arms but think this could work.
Love it! I saw one to buy on Pinterest but it was $200!! I am definitely going to make this. Thanks!
Great idea! My husband is a carpenter so now I am going to have him make me some for my couches.
Love it!
My jaw dropped when I saw the price tag on the etsy version, especially knowing I could make something like that myself! I think yours is gorgeous–thank you for sharing!

I made one of these 2 Pinterest challenges ago (or was it three?). Anyway, they are so freaking handy. I wish I had more friends with square armrest-ed couches. I would be making them for everyone!
