Living Room Details: DIY Cabinet, Tree stump table and Sofa Slipcovers

I decided to consolidate this all into one post so I could have a dedicated living room source list next week and you won't have to scroll through a bunch of chatter to find what you're looking for. Keeping things simple and easy for ya!<br /><br />First up, one of my favorite pieces in the entire living room...<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVU15uuJlpVMOgI-b6vh5RG4LeTjNZB6tGglfku0VxwpY5o1Dm7BSaz4x4mJvCdJcdR2WD7Sryrq5iWCIqJBDvwsi4tIEHL85RT4hC2md5obSP4rw1YnDB3whDBdgKgKmP-QieKdivHFXg/s1600/IMG_5410.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVU15uuJlpVMOgI-b6vh5RG4LeTjNZB6tGglfku0VxwpY5o1Dm7BSaz4x4mJvCdJcdR2WD7Sryrq5iWCIqJBDvwsi4tIEHL85RT4hC2md5obSP4rw1YnDB3whDBdgKgKmP-QieKdivHFXg/s1600/IMG_5410.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br />Originally I wasn't going to have anything on this wall at all. Brad ended up running some wires from the cable jack behind it to our outdoor TV (right on the other side of the wall) and they needed to be hidden, so I had to come up with something.<br /><br />Then I stumbled across this gorgeous cabinet from <a href="http://www.shanty-2-chic.com/2013/03/diy-table-shanty-console-table.html">Shanty 2 Chic</a>:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.shanty-2-chic.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/DIY-Console-Table.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.shanty-2-chic.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/DIY-Console-Table.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br />I loved the simple styling and the fact that it was narrow, and the perfect size! The plans seemed easy enough too (I followed the instructions from <a href="http://ana-white.com/2013/03/plans/shanty-open-shelf-console">Ana White</a> as well as referenced the photos from Shanty 2 Chic).<br /><br />The stained wood she used turned out gorgeous but I realized that all of the furniture I had in the room was wood/brown so I decided to switch it up and go with a warm gray. I've had trouble in the past choosing grays—they always turn out bluer than expected, so this time I went with a much warmer shade—Valspar's Mountain Smoke:<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoPmkDZWUEE2P2AQhE3B9D2vBfvx_SRBGE9mfmf4BXZi8Iq1aS046WqV4nf_yWtEFITDH2Z4MVjdZ4mvezWy-f9lZxWRUekLAKrphZ9YnxYsAjyJXhhMIhkzrf4v0gLvukPYv20EXe9BwL/s1600/IMG_5217.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoPmkDZWUEE2P2AQhE3B9D2vBfvx_SRBGE9mfmf4BXZi8Iq1aS046WqV4nf_yWtEFITDH2Z4MVjdZ4mvezWy-f9lZxWRUekLAKrphZ9YnxYsAjyJXhhMIhkzrf4v0gLvukPYv20EXe9BwL/s1600/IMG_5217.jpg" /></a></div><br />It actually looks pretty cool in this photo but next to all of the other gray swatches, it was a very muddy shade with brown/green undertones. It really is the perfect gray, I think.<br /><br /><br />Whitney had ripped down a sheet of 3/4" Purebond plywood for the main frame, which isn't available at Lowe's, but since I wasn't staining mine I used a sheet of 3/4 MDF instead. Best choice EVER. MDF is so easy to work with—doesn't splinter or crack and it's super smooth which makes it perfect for painting.<br /><br />I had Lowe's rip it down into strips to make it easier to transport, but their measurements weren't perfect (as usual) so I ended up having to rip it down on our table saw (I don't know what I'd do without that thing!)<br /><br />I won't get into the step by step details since you can find those in the links I posted above, but here's some photos during the process. This project calls for a Kreg Jig which I've had some trouble with in the past (mostly with the wood splintering and the screws poking all the way through) but it worked like a charm this time—great for MDF:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNrOHHt-GEUq4g-1hJTMAl-O8XY-6vPxm_MhvFa08HLXnVaHL_vJaR8iM5AdaLJHSdsUwJ0_SovwaMCVVvz4_o1Kudr-u1Ufkie4Nvw9OYd3uPMifLl1ZNl2L3R_Cn7u4ljqT1RFk4KxpY/s1600/IMG_5199.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNrOHHt-GEUq4g-1hJTMAl-O8XY-6vPxm_MhvFa08HLXnVaHL_vJaR8iM5AdaLJHSdsUwJ0_SovwaMCVVvz4_o1Kudr-u1Ufkie4Nvw9OYd3uPMifLl1ZNl2L3R_Cn7u4ljqT1RFk4KxpY/s1600/IMG_5199.jpg" /></a></div><br />The plans aren't super detailed—like it doesn't say what order to assemble the main cabinet pieces in, so Brad and I just assumed it didn't matter.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj15IykzkGLwuNUtcIFVHAwJY2hfeuiow7H3KgDB3xVtElLpITmxRIE3glzz54G7HF-yB9sbJP6Wvki5KXSQJJlUUy82ZC_zoT_Vt5nDcSMrh2N3MtgE9OYnGCqaKnCVptnzYdE_bGEJoav/s1600/IMG_5196.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj15IykzkGLwuNUtcIFVHAwJY2hfeuiow7H3KgDB3xVtElLpITmxRIE3glzz54G7HF-yB9sbJP6Wvki5KXSQJJlUUy82ZC_zoT_Vt5nDcSMrh2N3MtgE9OYnGCqaKnCVptnzYdE_bGEJoav/s1600/IMG_5196.jpg" /></a></div><br />First pieces up!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlDs7qbylf7s9YYs7WIX8GeJB6M2eiWnYvH8krB2CIY4nFpJBlHoBRZ5khZ8N-PHMrIry31uWA_2h2JKxhchGg9A0Z9BRxXR8YEl47oVbGlxE0kwqwg5VNfzrimL0MTS9ZJHArdV_1zuZ1/s1600/IMG_5201.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlDs7qbylf7s9YYs7WIX8GeJB6M2eiWnYvH8krB2CIY4nFpJBlHoBRZ5khZ8N-PHMrIry31uWA_2h2JKxhchGg9A0Z9BRxXR8YEl47oVbGlxE0kwqwg5VNfzrimL0MTS9ZJHArdV_1zuZ1/s1600/IMG_5201.jpg" /></a></div><br />This is where more detailed instructions would have come in handy (or perhaps common sense on our part) because after adding the shelves in we realized we couldn't fit our drill in there to secure the top.
