Covered Coffee Table {Tutorial}

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 cut some foam {purchased at Hobby Lobby} the length and width of the table.  Next, I used spray adhesive and attached the foam to the top of the table.

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.  

I'm social!  You can keep in touch with me on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and even Instagram under Christy's Cuties if you would like.

I like to party over at these awesome places!

Have a great day!
