Some of you commented on the new coffee table in my Slipcover update post. That is acutally not a new coffee table, but the result of a loving husband FINALLY reading the pin I sent him of the Ikea hack coffee table update by The Feminist Mystique months ago and while I was away at NTEN; surprising me by doing the project. Here are some of the pictures he took along the way.
Start with the big Ikea coffee table
Get some unfinished 1×4’s and cut them to be a little longer than the coffee table top.
stain!
If you’re artsy, drill holes on the ends, cut the heads off of masonry nails and hammer them in.
ooo masonry nails
glue it down
and you are done (after it dries)
ta da! ooo la la!
Totally works!
I got to say, the boy can get stuff done.

Adora
