Oh wow what a great table!
ReplyI am in the process of redoing my living room and while I live in an apartment, I think it is certainly doable.
I have an overstuffed couch that is crazy red in color as well as really comfortable and relaxed. I like to have a vibrant room that speaks about my personality while still being functional and inviting. I would use this table to tie in the other elements in my room such as some of the abstract art peices I have hanging on the walls.
I would accomplish this by painting my own mural on the table, using the red of the couch as an accent while using some of the golds and blacks in the room to tie it all together. A table that is not only functional but a conversation piece in so many aspects.
Oh how lovely without any work necessary, but if it's headed to my home, there would likely be a large, off-centered, handmade stencil in a stark neutral to go with the feel. Yay!
ReplyThis will be the perfect table to put in my craft room. The thin legs are a plus because they don't take up a lot of space visually and the table doesn't appear to be taking up a lot of room. I like it very much. I would like to win this.

This table is begging to be painted like a vintage surfboard. I would do this and put it into our music room!
ReplyWhat a great table! Would love to have it in the youth room at our community center with a nice orange racing stripe down the middle....have a great week
Replytwo words. surf. board. wait... it's one word. yeah! (but not really. i just like it as a table. no clue what to do with it yet... YET.)
ReplyMy father and I went on a trip a couple years ago when he was diagnosed with cancer. We traveled by train and car over the British Isles visiting places we'd read about and watched documentaries about over the years. I've had in mind to find the right table for our sofa, and decorate it using vinyl. I'd cut out an outline of the British Isles, mark out our route in a contrasting color and collage photos, memorabilia and memories on it (as you might a map on the wall showing where you'd been). Sealed up nicely, it would make a perfect memory of our trip of a lifetime.
ReplyA sort of scrap book coffee table, if you will.
i would go for retro and paint it tuquoise or pink with speckles!!
ReplyI'd decoupage the top with floral papers.
ReplyI would put a lovely arrangement on it!

Replythis looks like a fun table-- probably make it like a surfboard- I don't know- have to see where it would go in the house then work from there
ReplyThis would get ovals in fiesta colors and go in the dining room.
ReplyAargh. I see someone already wants to use my turquoise or pink!!! Great minds think alike:]
ReplyI would put pictures of the grandkids on it and paint it with the clear stuff(can't remember it's name) to keep their images forever. jelly15301@gmail.com

ReplyI would put a faux stone finish on it.
