Oh, y’all! I am having such a great time with this blog! Several new posts/projects are in the works that I can’t wait to share. But in the meantime, here’s a quick and easy project… a DIY mini-coffee table!
Do you have need of a little bitty table anywhere in your house? I needed one for a sitting room just off the foyer, and once again, funds are limited (will that ever NOT be the case??).
Steps to a DIY Mini-Coffee Table…
The base of my table is a plant stand from Marshall’s (7.99).
For the top, I wanted to use glass, but didn’t want the expense of going to a glass shop and having a piece cut. So, you know those particle board tables that look like this? 
They’re hideous, I know, but I have one! It kind of floats for different uses. Sometimes I’ll cover it with a pretty cloth and use for a guest book or a pretty arrangement of flowers for a function I might be hosting. But, I digress…
Anyway, I bought not one, but 2 of the glass tops (3.99 each, I think) to make the table top! Between each round of glass I put four plastic bumpers (if you look closely you can see two of them between the glass in the photo below). Then on the four corners of the stand I put some larger-in-diameter ones (I did get them as flat as I could find).
Then I just sat the glass atop the plant stand and … voila! A tiny table that works great. Place a few accessories on top and for about $16 you have a company-ready table!! 
I hope this idea comes in handy for you, or inspires you to design a solution to your own decorating dilemma!
Love the tabe. I came across your site through pinterest on your china hutch which is beautiful. Where did you get your beautiful area rug that is beneath your mini coffee table? Please email me w info. Thank you
Thanks for reading, Christina! I got the rug at a local shop, but found the brand/color online here: http://www.rugs-direct.com/ShopDetail/Details/142801/ConcordGlobal/Chester/Oushak/Blue9706
