Build the Base
Setup Your Workspace
The process started with building a base pedestal that would eventually have a top & sides added.
Finish Trim
To assemble, we clamped, glued, and nailed the pine to the particle board base. We then glued & nailed a square piece of 2 x 12 to the top to complete the pedestal construction.
Fill, Sand, & Paint

I then filled the mitered corners and nail holes. After sanding it smooth and caulking the corners, the pedestal was prepped for primer & paint.
The Finished Look

All that was left to do was move the pedestal to my office & style it! I photographed it with a terracotta vase I found at HomeGoods.
I hope you enjoyed this project tutorial, and I hope you’ll let me know if you try it! What do you think? Would you style a pedestal in your home?
