Remember when I posted sometime last year that I wanted to make this coffee table? I finally got around to ordering the hairpin legs and buying the table top last month. Then after a weekend of unsuccessful attempts to find a power drill, my friend Maria lent me hers and the table was completed. It still needs to be oiled every few days for the next two months, but so far I have to say, I’m totally happy with the results.
For these photos, my sister Jenny (pictured above) helped me with the styling and “tablescaping”. She says, “We wanted the coffee table to be the focal point of our living room, around which our friends could gather to sip single origin espresso and trade tips about holistic vets.” Ha! We had so much fun being tablescape artists for the day.



Loves it!
MON! I love your table! Looks like you guys had so much fun tablescaping it, too!

Hello Mon! Would I be able to get the details of this table too. Which table top did you get from Ikea and what is the height of the hair pin legs. I’m going to make my own table top but I think the dimensions of this one is perfect. Thanks for your help!!!
