Hi everyone!!!

I'm so excited today to share with you brand new plans!

My dear friend Ashley from Shanty2Chic [5] is busy working on a brandnew house! [6] And to get ready to move in, she's already startedworking on furniture for her new house.

First up, Ashley [5] wanted to build a coffee table in a square shape,with giant turned legs, inspired somewhat by the lovely Pottery BarnCortona Coffee Table. [7]

This is what she built!

It is also advisable to review the Getting Started Section.Take all necessary precautions to build safely and smartly. Work on aclean level surface, free of imperfections or debris. Always use straightboards. Check for square after each step. Always predrill holes beforeattaching with screws.
