Title: New Coffee Table
Post by: BEG on May 21, 2014, 12:21:26 PM
My husband made it out of a cable spool, stained it then painted the Shiner Bock logo. He also put a metal band around the side of the top. Now help me, now what should I put on top for a decoration?

IMHO, a coffee table should be kept empty except for items in current use.  Like coffee pot and cups, for instance.

That one also looks like a good spot for a board game, especially if you don't mind sitting on the floor.

(By the way, almost no one I know, including my wife who keeps ours covered with stuff, agrees with me about keeping it clear.  But, whatevs.)

That's because you are wrong.

Thou shalt not deny BEG her knick knacks.

+1 for the pole.
