Reddit mentions: The best handmade living room furniture

Ok, so you need everything out of this space. It's good thing you have built in closets for the bedroom and the living room. That gives more room to work with. Judging from the pictures, your style preference is industrial and/or Midcentury Modern. That can certainly be accomplished. Because the place is not large, you will have to get some multipurpose furniture or get creative.

Let's start with the kitchen. As it isn't finished yet, I don't know what you are working with. Will you have built in burners with a separate oven? Or are you looking to get a full stove. Personally, I would choose the first option as it will give you more flexibility about where you put the oven and you can choose a small one to fit in more places. If this is the case, have a full size fridge in the left corner of the kitchen and a table with two chairs next to it, where you can eat, but also do extra prep work. Make it square, so you can put it against the wall or in the corner, lsomething like this or this or something made of formica. Above the table put up shelves where you can put appliances that you need to use often, but don't want to have taking up precious counter space, such as coffeemaker, toaster, oven etc. Or you can make this another spot for storage, such as plates, cups....basically everything to set the table.

Living room: I'm guessing that the built in closets are in the bottom wall. Too bad I can't see them, but they might be a good place to put your TV in, so you can have it out of sight when not needed. For a coffee table, you may want to choose something like this. It provides storage and the open lid can be made into a desk. If you have lids that open to both sides you can have a dining table for 4 with chairs from the kitchen. This one is more industrial, but there mcm storage tables as well. Of course you will need a sofa to go with it, facing the closet in which you have put your TV. Just Google mcm and industrial couches to get inspiration. If you can't put your tv in the closet, it wall have to go against a wall. In that case put a credenza underneath: industrial, MCM. Of course these are just examples. Finish off with a large area rug, for example Persian and a plant or two.

The bedroom should just have your bed, nightstand and maybe a chair in the corner of the room to put your clothes on. Put another rug down underneath/in front of the bed and a lamp on the night stand.

I know it's not CL, but I thought the price was a little out there. Here's a link: Reclaimed Wood Entertainment Center with Barn Style Sliding Doors | FREE SHIPPING https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075DYWFV6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_xES3Ab05MDBWE

Might not be the right place for this, apologies if its not.

I'm looking for help with a console to setup my turntable with some record storage. I have a space next to the couch that I'm looking to fill with a console to house my turntable/amp/preamp and some records. Looking for a nice piece of furniture in the $600 range, and it needs to be roughly 40-50" wide. Here's the problem, what every I find, outside of the really expensive pieces, are either too shallow for my amp or too wide for the space. Anyone have setup that houses their amps and turntable for a reasonable cost. My amp is and Adcom GFA 555ii so its 17" deep which is the real killer. I feel like I'm going to have to build something my self, but my woodworking skills, although above average, are not good enough to makes something of the quality I'm looking for.

Best ones I've found so far are these two:

CB2 Dean (But I think the amp would look ugly just sitting on the bottom shelf exposed.

Hairpin Legs Storage (would like it to a little wider for amp and more records)

Thanks in advance.

Also you can look for C tables in small spaces.

Nah, hairpin are specifically metal legs that are shaped like a bobby pin

My wife showed her father in law one on Amazon, and he made it himself. Based off of this:
