DIY Entryway Console Table UNDER $40 + Decor Styling Tips | XO, MaCenna

[@Reddhead33]

I swear Kinsley cracks me up so much. Her sitting there staring out the window. Oh yeah...love the entry way table. Beautiful, as are all the pieces you create.

[@TiniestMonster]

I think the tiny bit of gap in the measurements is because the saw blade eats up a tiny bit of the wood- so if you cute right ON the line you measured, it will come up just a TINY bit short on all sides. Try cutting with the blade touching the outside of the line you want, to get it to end AT the line, instead of across it. This looks fantastic, I loved the end result!! 🖤🖤

[@taylortischler]

Kinsley has no idea I exist and I would die for her. SHE IS SO STINKIN CUTE 🥺🥺

[@foreverlostinabook]

Omg Kinsley putting her toy on your notebook to play is the cutest thing ever!!

[@hayleywise7403]

You and Kinsley are so adorable! And beautiful table!

[@Ria_n_Brian_93]

Had to pause to say, how stinkin’ cute is Kinsley❣️ She just wants to play as you’re trying to work. 🥰🐶

[@amara560]

It is kinda cute but can get annoying fast. Usually this is called maladaptive behaviour in dogs.

[@not-a-ghost2206]

@@amara560 its called dogs that play She surely lets macenna alone if she wanted to

[@angieemm]

I really liked the wire basket but I feel like, with throwing in keys, that they'd get caught in the wires or push through the sides...the wood tray you ended up with is definitely the best for its use, I think. I channeled my inner MaCenna the other day and did a 3-shop thrift trip and bought a bunch of clear glass vessels of various sizes but same vibe, so I can group them and fill them with the fossils, rocks, and petrified wood I find. I felt so fancy and professional, explaining to my boyfriend later how I'd figured out what to pick! Thank you for your help and inspiration!

[@XOMaCenna]

Omg LOVE!!!!

[@debbiej5328]

I adore your little pup. She is adorable!!!

[@elainereynolds9532]

Was not sure at first, BUT THE FINISHED PRODUCT WITH YOUR CHOICE OF DECORATIONS TURNED OUT AMAZING........ VERY NICE.......

[@Violetentity]

OMG that table is over the top. You are so creative.

[@NYntjee92]

Kingsley cracks me up so much ahaha love her!! She is always so curious and wants to play, so precious 🥺 the side table turned out amazing! Amazing🥰

[@savanabatt9712]

Adding the trim was brilliant, it makes ordinary lumber look so much more elevated! Great idea.

[@iSTYLEMYSTYLE]

You have inspired me to learn how to use power tools! Thanks so much for being inspiring.🥰

[@XOMaCenna]

Yay!!!!! 🥰

[@annaleticia7231]

wow that trim made it look so much prettier that’s amazing

[@lindahill3]

Lovely addition to your living room. The silver bowl is from the 60's and can be used as a serving bowl for dinner rolls encased in linen. For your table add old postcards or old ornaments. You are very talented at such a young age----love that you stained the table rather than painted it.

[@cindym6065]

I like how the console creates a fourth wall for your entrance area. That space truly seems like it's own room now! P.S. LOVE Kinsley!

[@XOMaCenna]

Yesss!!!! The perfect addition to finish the space

[@laurence9695]

You're totally missing Kingsley's antiques in the background, sliding off the couch, killing her baby. Hilarious. She's such a great side-kick.

[@lestranged]

How does the dog have antiques?

[@alexisn.k.789]

@@lestranged she meant antics I think lol saying macenna was missing Kinsley sliding off the couch and killing her baby (her toy) cause she was turned around

[@lestranged]

@@alexisn.k.789 Ahh 'antics' makes sense! Since it's an interior design channel I was thinking of some actual antique getting broken or something.

[@lindahill3]

Antics not antiques

[@u32481]

The trim length not coming out exact might have been due to the thickness of the cutting blade

[@lindseycarpenter86]

Cut it a little too long because you can always go back and make it shorter!

[@lizzchay]

It’s called the blade ‘kerf’. I was always short until I read up about it!

[@firepfarr]

“Save the line”

[@thebabygiraffe4921]

Your dog is the best decor piece of all!

[@ayeeangie21]

Every video Kinsley's in, she makes laugh. I can't get over it, she's naturally funny

[@thatgirlnetty5308]

Kingsley is eyeing that vase. The tray will be so nice to drop your keys in or anything else that you bring in. with you. Your so at ease with using power tools, just wonderful. Great job I just love the table, the detail is beautiful.

[@SarahSmith-iy6tk]

Kingsley is ADORABLE! I love her so much and I want to hug her lol

[@Homelifewithella]

OMG Kensley is so adorable! : 🥰

[@jadeheart911]

Girl !! I thought I had toys !!!! You have it all !!!!!!

[@lisaf5303]

I have the same silver wire bowl just a little smaller. I found mine at my local thrift store. I spray painted it bronze. It's one of my favorite pieces.

[@autumnloverjenn8859]

Lady absolutely love the blue theme in bedroom omgosh ☺️🥰👌🏼

[@mariannworley9538]

Wow, what a difference to your entryway. Beautiful. I love your simplistic style.

[@freshslee]

Kinsley is such a darling dog.

[@emilydillon3539]

Wow, the table turned to be gorgeous!

[@athena1841]

Kinsley is always dropping that toy hoping you'll play with him. It's his sole mission, so hilarious!

[@debiinman8917]

Love your sweatshirt! I lived in the foothills of the Smokey Mts for 33years. Beautiful.

[@Idk29348]

Ok but I LOVE MACENNA’s INTRO!!!❤️

[@XOMaCenna]

heheheh thank you 💕

[@nancyberg6260]

Proud of your good table for this space. I should never be let loose with power tools but am appreciative that others can do it. Happy New Year

[@saraelrayes]

For me, the videos on this channel are always LIKE then WATCH because the first part is always guaranteed

[@XOMaCenna]

Awww you’re so sweet! Thank you 😘

[@CM-mr7gk]

Looks so cute! Love the trim it definitely made it even better.

[@XOMaCenna]

Right!! I felt like it needed something special on the edge

[@saidaswift9531]

You did a beautiful job, as usual. Btw ottomans underneath are not for sitting by the entrance but for pulling them into the living room when more seating is needed for a bigger crowd.

[@tsanelkoto0810]

How I wish to also have power tools. Make things easy for a good project. You always have bright ideas. I love it.

[@juniorbaby972]

I love love love you walking through your thought process of styling. Trying different things and telling us why you like or dislike the picks! I found when decorating my own home styling is the hardest part so this helps so so much!!

[@gabygonzalez8959]

Kinsley is actually the cutest dog ever!!!

[@cherylclipperton5331]

I like the tray on the table, but I would line it with a pretty napkin, place mat, or something to keep the bottom from getting scratched. Also, it would add a bit of color to the tray. So cool!!!

[@sandy949]

Kingsley is trying to figure out how to jump over the table lol.

[@XOMaCenna]

💯 hahaha ... scary

[@semperfidelis2970]

No no no no that's not funny teach that dog not to do that No jumping around delicate stuff that's a no if you had kids you wouldn't let them do it either

[@LindaFoyle]

Don't put anything glass, just in case Kinsley try's to jump!

[@LindaFoyle]

Correction on my spelling, nothing glass, in case she tries to jump...opps

[@craftyzara3552]

Yep especially at 12:00 she looked like she was trying to figure something out! I make vids btw

[@kellysquires2017]

You impress me every time I watch your videos! Beautiful job!

[@GGG.793]

Wow!! Amazing talent!! I’m dying to try something like this with my daughter!! You are great at this!! Thank you for sharing ❤

[@lovecara1]

You are so amazing, and always brighten my day with your personality and creativity

[@robindebruhl7547]

In the future, add a quarter inch to your 45 degree angles before cutting and then trim as needed. Wood shifts and shrinks (especially when going from outside during the day to inside at night). Oh, and always measure with a tape measure for more accuracy. Thank you for showing the pocket hole maker. I will definitely be picking that up.

[@CristieRoach]

A white linen pillow with some bells would be cute in that basket with that blanket.

[@karonfrench1012]

Lovely console table. 😍 I put a shelf on the bottom of mine. Looks great with a basket and a few books! 👍

[@allisonbeeman3199]

I love when you build stuff! It makes me wanna be brave and start building!

[@champagnemommy]

So pretty and fits perfectly in the spot!

[@emilydillon3539]

Awww, Kingsley! Love her 🥰

[@ileanarivera2974]

Beautiful! And that color wood stain is everything! 😍

[@JustRaiya16]

The wood tray but add a pretty Christmas themed piece of felt in the center. Like red or green match what's in the vase.

[@lindaschoolcraft8536]

I just love Kingsley so much! She is so adorable. I’ve had Maltese and poodles, but never the mix. You did a great job on that sofa table. God bless always.

[@ΧρυσηΜιχελακη]

First. .i was impressed from the tools you got.. you, everybody needs them to build a beautiful item, furniture...the entryway table turned out sooo stunning.. simple and warm, loved it!!!And last but not least... you are a master in DIY's !!!!.👍🙌👏

[@INDIVESTDECO]

Kingsley is such a love ❤️

[@robertdesmarais3821]

I love how you describe all the tools everything works I love it because I try to learn how to do stuff on my own too. I respect that you do all this on your own that’s fantastic teaching other women how to do stuff and about the tools love it!

[@sydneykasmar]

I love the clear wide jar with greens & ornaments on the entry table.

[@donnarichards8329]

The gap in the trim has to do with taking into account the kerf or thickness of the saw blade.

[@led6244]

This table is so cool. And your couch calls my name! So comfy, and those throw pillows!

[@Sylvia-bc6mp]

The black book under the wooden tray would look beautiful 😍

[@XOMaCenna]

Ooooo I’m going to try it!!

[@Sylvia-bc6mp]

@@XOMaCenna 🥰

[@jermicahood6354]

You make most your things and that's why you save money a lot but people like me do not know how to do that but the decor is yummy to the eye💖

[@chelsealaneokay]

Love your channel! Glad you’re venturing into power tools! Just a tip. It seems like you’re mostly using pine? That’s cheap and easily available, but, it’s not good in terms of longevity. I think you’re adept enough with power tools to venture into hardwoods. Maybe birch or maple to start out with. Those woods take stain better and won’t dent or scratch as easily and they’ll last you much longer.

[@ice-jb9cj]

i like the baking soda painted bowl for the entryway. although i love the wood tray, i think you need a little constatar between the table and tray

[@lourdesmendiola1758]

Your timing is always so perfect for my needs! 🥰

[@XOMaCenna]

YAYYYY 💕

[@Tinyteacher1111]

I’ve been trying to decide what other tools I need, and I think it will be a miter saw! Thank you for the tip!

[@halielynne1320]

I can’t thank you enough for the shopping list visual. I have trouble following people with this type of tutorial without a write out!

[@SharatiaBanks]

MACENNA!!!! I’ve been building my furniture and I finished my console like 2-3 weeks ago. And I literally just got back from shopping for decorations for it cause I’m vlogging it too. I had to research on KZbin and Pinterest how to decorate a console lol and here you are after I did everything. Lovely per usual. You’re amazing!

[@SharatiaBanks]

Side note: I think I went overboard. I may return and follow your tips lol

[@bernadineponte8609]

Absolutely beautiful. You are so talented. Love Kingsley too. Am currently following your demolition and reno on the cottages!

[@KEKrato]

I'm spoiled because my dad has almost every tool that exists, but if you want perfectly crisp corners on your board instead of store-fresh rounded ones, either a table saw set to VERY thin, or a planer is the way to go! You'll have to account for the dimensions changing a bit, but if you have access to either of those tools, it can change the whole look of a piece!

[@StephBer1]

That table is gorgeous. The trim really sets it off. I would paint the the little wooden tray black or do a half height black base to it to break it from the table. The black matches the black TV in the background and provides a foreground visual link. You are so clever and I've asked for a Mitre Saw for Christmas. Yay. Can't wait to start building things!

[@dtab281]

Couldn't do it myself ... yours is epic!

[@jstuartlittle]

Looks great. You did a great job. What a pop the greenery you added made!

[@MsCouve]

How....how is this possible!!!!!! I have been looking for the past week at videos to possibly build my own console and here comes one of my fav youtubers..... let me go get a snack and I’ll be back!!! Omg!!!! And you spoke about tools for beginners which I was also looking into!!!

[@pamelatorres7042]

The table is gorgeous

[@angelinaballa4527]

Great Job!!!! Looks beautiful. You have such Talent! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@LaurynAmini]

I’ve always wondered what your neighbors think of all of the beautiful pieces you’ve made or refurbished. I’m seriously amazed every time 🥰

[@heartslessons6243]

Girl you need to get the staplegun and Brad nailer in one. What a time saver. I have the Stanley it's not heavy to hold in your hand.

[@NitrosMom074]

Awesome job on that table. It’s the perfect size. So glad you didn’t use the silver fruit bowl for the keys...I could see frustration as the keys went through the spokes and got stuck!

[@bridgethill9646]

Your console table turned out really well. Yes, I do love power tools, but I don't have any place to store them as I live in an apartment. A very charming but small box.

[@laurettavanlandingham243]

Nice work on the table! Regarding the trouble with your mitre, you need to take the width of your blade into consideration and be careful which side of your line you saw on. Maybe that will help! 😊

[@esthertan5585]

You are amazing! Please do a basic power tools 101 video for women (specifically drills). It’s so intimidating for us. I feel like you’ll be good cuz you’re really good at explaining things

[@Julia-jz9vl]

I love Kinsley so. She is so funny. xD

[@biancanatal1097]

The table so perfectly fits in with the rest of your living rm decor. Power tools intimidate me, but you use them with the greatest ease!

[@megancrocker2234]

Hi, That table is nice. And it’s good to know you did it. Liking the way you styled it. Cute!! Xo 😘

[@TheHouseonOctoberDrive]

Love the trim on the sides, nice touch!

[@katymaloney]

You could put a little placemat under that wood tray, to create some kind of separation with the wood of the table! And it would add a bit of texture, for that hygge vibe! Something white and soft looking, like a knit, would look great with the couch and the rest of the textiles around, without competing with the throw underneath! And I love the little tree with the candles, it's just enough! Perfect!

[@LebogangT0]

Wow MaCenna, that is absolutely beautiful.

[@griseldamascorro3848]

Like always, EXCELLENT JOB MACENNA!!! ❤️😍

[@gerihenry2261]

How funny, I just made a console table last week as well and we love it!! Because it also serves as a TV Tray when we have family night in front of the TV, it's the perfect height. Power tools are the best and I also highly recommend safety gear, a drill, a circular saw, a measuring tape, clamps, a stud finder, a carpenter square (L-shaped ruler) as starters and must haves, as well!!

[@jenniferberensen3048]

You have made your place a beautiful home! 💕🙂

[@earlesworld3663]

To be honest even though you think the bowl still might be too small, I think it's perfect for the entryway because it gives contrast in color and texture while still looking great with the rest of your color scheme. But I have a small bowl for my keys and I fit a lot in that small bowl.

[@TheCraftyCouple]

The english chestnut stain is beautiful! Definitely need to go buy that now 😍

[@LifeByDesignWithNiamh]

Yes! So nice. I'm keeping a note of it for the future.

[@janiceperla5506]

I think it would look much better with just the table you built in the tray. All the other stuff is just crap in the way
