You Can DIY This Adorable Serving Station

Looking for an easy weekend project? Turn a basic eight-cube organizer into a chic DIY serving station. This cute cube is decked out with all the fixings: gold-tone stemware racks, a faux-marble top, and X-shape wine bottle storage. Make one yourself with our easy-to-follow steps. 

• Eight-cube storage unit (we used one from the Better Homes & Gardens collection at Walmart)
• Damp cloth
• 3/4-inch plywood
• Measuring tape
• Circular saw or table saw
• Sandpaper
• Primer 
• Paint
• Paintbrush
• Furniture legs
• Painters tape
• Gold spray paint
• Construction adhesive
• 1-inch screws
• Screwdriver or drill

Optional Embellishments:

• Light gray acrylic paint
• Feathers
• Small artists brush
• Dark gray acrylic paint
• Gold-tone stemware racks
• 1/2-inch screws
• X dividers

Remove cube from packaging and assemble according to manufacturer's instructions. Wipe clean with a damp cloth to remove any dust, glue, or grime. 

Craft a top and base from 3/4-inch plywood: Measure the length and width of the longest sides of the eight-cube unit, add an inch to each measurement for a slight overhang, and cut using a circular saw or table saw. Sand, prime, and paint the boards to match the shelf; let dry.

Use painters tape to block off half of each leg. Spray-paint the other half gold. Let dry. 

Center and glue the top and base to the cube unit using construction adhesive. Attach legs to the base plywood with 1-inch screws. 

If desired, add a variety of adornments to the buffet. Create a faux-marble top by mixing a 3:1 ratio of light gray acrylic paint to water. Paint diagonal lines across the surface with a feather. Using a small artists brush, drizzle splatters of light gray paint to create flecks. Repeat with dark gray acrylic paint. To show off glasses, install gold-tone stemware racks inside one cube using 1/2-inch screws. You can also outfit the cubes with X dividers designed to fit inside individual cubbies.
