Hi!  My name is Christy, and I blog over on Christy’s Cuties

Christy's Cuties

I am a busy momma of 3 small kids.  Wife of a Military man.  Bachelor’s student earning a degree in Child Psychology.  And craft fanatic!  Over on Christy’s Cuties you will find anything from what I call Craft Cuties, to food, to kids activities, with a little life thrown into the mix.  That’s a little about me, I hope you will come visit sometime.  I am so excited to be here today, let’s get started, shall we?

Today I want to show you how I made my new covered coffee table.
I love Goodwill.  In one of my last trips I found this amazing coffee table, I knew I had to have it. This table has some amazing details, and it is so visually interesting.

I started by painting it Coral, to match my end tables.

I used duck fabric for the top.  I chose this kind because it is thicker than regular fabric, but you don’t have to pay the price for the real upholstery fabric.  I cut the fabric a few inches larger than the table.

For the bottom I just folded the sides of the fabric up under and stapled all around the edges of the table, two inches in.

I love how it turned out.  The contrast of the navy blue against the coral legs make me happy.  But something was still missing.

I wanted a cute tray, and of course I needed a few family photo books.

I still love the details in the legs.

I love having a coffee table in the living room.  It seems much more “homey”.  And now I have a place to show off all of our family photo books.
Thanks so much to Ashley for having me over.  I have had a great time.
