{DIY} Cool Coffee Table

While browsing decor8 today, I came across Holly’s post on “By Nord” – a Danish label that is now stocked at the Le Souk shop – Holly was showcasing the pillows from the company – but the thing that I noticed from her photos is the AMAZING coffee table!  And how easy would that be to DIY?  I immediately did a google search for “coffee table on casters” and there were literally thousands of articles on making a coffee table on casters.  Most are up at coffee table height with teeny tiny casters, but I love how it is low with big ‘ol wheels!  And I need a coffee table.  I had an IKEA Lack table – but I feel like it screams “I’m Cheap!”  And I put it in the corner next to my sofa as a long side table.  I like it there much better.  And since I am cheap, I haven’t bought a new one because I refuse to pay $100+ for something that is just going to get dirty baby finger prints on and water rings.  But this I like!  What do you think??

Yes, the room and the textiles are gorgeous, but I’m drooling over the coffee table. And I think Glenn could whip this out fairly easily on the cheap! It feels very “me.” Which is amazing because I can easily put together a color/material board together for a client, but I have a hard time choosing items for my own house. I love it when the light bulb comes on, don’t you?

Alright, back to my Google search for a materials list – I can’t wait to show this to Glenn!!  As soon as he gets home from the fire he’s on, that is.  Have a great long weekend, everyone!!  Thanks for stopping by!!
