Collecting Materials: The first step is to gather materials that can be reclaimed and repurposed. This can include salvaged wood, old metal pipes, vintage suitcases, or even discarded doors and windows.
Design and Measurements: Once the materials are collected, the design and measurements of the bedside table can be finalized. The dimensions will depend on the size of the bed and the available space. The design should be simple yet sturdy to ensure durability.
Building the Frame: The frame of the bedside table can be built using old metal pipes or wooden planks. This will serve as the support for the table’s top surface and drawers.
Tabletop: For the tabletop, a salvaged door or a window frame can be used. The size should be slightly larger than the frame to provide enough space for a lamp and other bedside essentials.
Drawers: Drawers can be constructed using reclaimed wood or old suitcases by removing a section of their sides. They can be attached to the frame using metal hinges or rails.
Finishing and Assembly: Once all the parts are ready, the bedside table can be assembled and finished with a coat of protective sealant. This will not only add a polished look but also protect the table from wear and tear.
