A huge thanks to Amanda Kwan with the Associated Press for including my Anthro-inspired tables in her article on ‘designer looks for big-box prices’! You can read it on the New York Times site, here and here. Did you wonder what Anthropologie thought of my take on their Curator Table? Well, Amanda asked them (yikes!) and you can read what they said in the article.
If you are new to Cucumbersome, welcome and thanks for checking out my little blog! You can read the original post on the tables I made here. If you are interested in DIY tutorials, here are a few more:

About
Britt McMaster is addicted to cucumbers. She and her husband, Ryan, live and work in a tiny apartment in downtown Vancouver, BC. Both Ryan and Britt love to write lists of all their ideas on action sheets, and they have pages and pages. They write especially quickly after they've each had a dry cappuccino or two. Most of those fanciful ideas will stay on paper, but Cucumbersome is Britt's platform to try some out.

How cool! Congratulations (and nice work on that nightstand)!
Congrats pal!
Congrats…I found you through that article, and love the idea…so easy! The one issue when I remake this is that I’m not in love with the standard legs from HW stores…I’m going to look for some vintage/retro/thrift store ones to cannibalize. Excellent job.
I love your tables! I just have a quick question. In the picture at the top of this article it looks like the paint gets darker towards the bottom of the bedside table, but in the article on how you built the tables, they look to be all one color. If you did paint it in varying colors of paint, I would like to know what colors you used and how you did it. I love that look.
Thanks, Dianna.
Sorry to say that it is just painted one color - that sounds like an interesting idea, though. If you are still interested, the paint color was called West Coast Grey, and I’m pretty sure it was by Behr.
