We have a very small living room so we decieded to replace our sofa with one loveseat.
I wanted to get a coffee table to go with it.
I wasn't crazy about the prices on the tables I saw. Some were so large too.
I decieded I would create my own.
I was in Ross and saw some great mirrors.
I though this might work for a table top. Found a small metal base and I was set to create my own small coffee table for less than $30.00.
The top of the base is sort of like a tray so I filled that with paper mache pulp which is cheap and easy to make. Let that dry and then glued the bottom of the framed mirror onto it. To make sure it stays I applied strips of paper criss crossing to make them secure. When dry I painted it black just like the back of the frame is.
It is very sturdy and I like that it is different than many of the other coffee tables I looked at. I keep a little $1.00 candy dish I bought at a yard sale in the mirrored part. How's than for bargains?
This small table could also be used next to a chair with a small lamp on it.

Anyone else have decorating ideas that don't cost an arm and a leg?
