My style has definitely evolved over the years. Man, in the meantime, I hope it survives without getting cracked.Īll that aside, my brass coffee table mashup still makes me ridiculously happy because I managed to create a table that’s completely unique. Once I find the perfect thing, I’ll be able to use that piece of glass that is now sitting in the garage. I just need another 18 months to find the perfect thing… I will say the brass base isn’t quite as sturdy as the hairpin legs, but I have a plan to fix that in the future. It took five minutes and my brass coffee table mashup was complete.

The brass bars on the base are hollow and were predrilled on the bottom, so we just had to use the existing holes to attach the base to the top. Then I can’t decide whether or not to be relieved or offended that the item I wanted is still there.Īnother true story is that I spent more time thinking about this brass coffee table than it did to attach the new brass base to my old coffee table top. It makes me laugh because the things I leave behind are usually the items no one else wants. If it is meant to be, it will still be there when I go back a week later to purchase it. You know my mantra on leaving stuff behind at a thrift store. So I left the brass coffee table and all my hopes and dreams at the thrift store. That meant I wasn’t sure if we could attach the base of that table to the top of my table. The glass on top of the brass coffee table base was too heavy for me to move to inspect the table base further. What I didn’t realize at the time was that the thrift shop had placed the table base upside down. While they were not what I wanted for this space, the hairpin legs worked while I could search for a unique base for my round coffee table.įast forward 18 months and on a cold day in December I was idly perusing a thrift shop when I spotted a potential base for my coffee table.

The hairpin legs were what I had on hand from another table we built. When we moved here, we took the legs off this dining room table and turned it into a coffee table by adding hairpin legs. I also can’t let that table get the best of me, so I have to show it who is boss by using it in my home. However, I’m not a perfectionist, so I’m just rolling with it. I fully admit that while I LOVE the blue color, it wasn’t one of my better paint jobs. I gave it a terrible makeover that about killed me. The round coffee table was originally a dining room table I bought at a thrift store for $9.60. I have been looking for a new base for my round coffee table for 18 months, ever since we moved into the Colonial Farmhouse. I have a feeling this term is going to catch on like wildfire any day now. It’s when you combine different coffee table parts to make a new coffee table.Ī top from one coffee table, a base from a different coffee table and bada-bing bada-boom you have a coffee table mashup! I should probably ask my 13-year-old, but I’ve already reached my daily quota on eye rolls.Īnyway, you might be wondering what a coffee table mashup is? I’m so cool that when I decided to use the word mashup I had to Google it to determine if this slang was written as one word, two words, or hyphenated. Today I have a coffee table mashup story for you.
