DIYable Coffee Table Bookshelf
By DIY Maven
The inspiration for Matt Carr's ingenious biblioteca bookshelf came from two found vintage coffee tables which he reconfigured into a bookshelf. His very cool 44 x 37 x 11" creation will set you back $725, but I'm thinking if you have or come across some unwanted coffee tables (a note for your next Good Will shopping trip) you could get handy with a saw and make one of your own. Maybe use some dowels to hold the feet to the table below and add » READ MORE
Turning a Pallet into a Coffee Table
By DIY Maven
Do you feel bad for discarded pallets? I do. Such waste! Such potential! Like this coffee table for example, which is a mere shadow of its former dump heap self. Esprit Cabane explains the procedure, which includes using mortar to fill the gaps between the slats. Via.
Noguchi Style Table, With Books!
By lilybeeI spotted this Coffee Table at an open house this afternoon.
It has that Noguchi Table vibe but would cost considerably less than $1,299. I like the quirky humour that uses coffee table books as, well, coffee table books.
The staging company who did the house just stacked up books that the homeowner already had then jammed the tempered glass on top. I'm not completely convinced by the dead cow rug (I like my dead cow lightly seasoned and c » READ MORE
Pirate Furniture....ARG!
By DIY Maven
Crate & Barrel’s Taka Trunk isn’t being billed as pirate furniture, but, as NotCot points out, it could certainly be at home in Jack Sparrow’s captain’s quarters. C & B is marketing this funky trunk as an ultimate coffee table multitasker. It has three–count ‘em, THREE– hinged lids that reveal secret, but ample, storage areas. And if that wasn’t cool enough, it also has a small front drawer for clickers and things and the lid support arms a » READ MORE

Interactive LED Coffee Table
By DIY Maven
The top of The Wave coffee table is outfitted with LEDs that are activated when they see motion. ‘Using a network of 32 active and passive near-infrared optical sensors and a clever fully analog circuit design, the light patterns sweep outwards from your motion with perfect fades, glowing stronger the closer the movement is, rippling across a pool of 480 super-bright white LEDs. It works in full sunlight or total darkness.’ Each table is custom m » READ MORE
The Cupcake Table
By DIY Maven
Let us all praise baked goods with Jellio’s Birthday Table ($750). The 24" diameter cupcake wrapper is made out of polyurethane and is capped with a 1/4" clear or frosted glass top. Available in 9 colors, the 16" high cupcake can be used as an end table or coffee table. Tasty!
