I searched the net for some free patterns and found a couple, but they only have measurements, no actual pattern for me to go by. Do any of you have a pattern that you'd like to share...

    I found a free side table yesterday propped up against the recycle bin at my apartment complex. I had my family over for a barbecue and my mom found a nice metal shoe rack and a wooden bar stool in great condition. Right next to these things was the side table.

    Nothing :) Well actually, the kitchen eating area table just has a table cloth on it. I only keep it covered because the sun comes in the bay windows and I don't want the wood to fade. The formal dining room has just a huge glass container that has faux star fruit in it. We only eat at the...
