Photos of DIY Side Table Renovation

Here's a post from CasaSugar Community member h2urHome. As you can see my previous side table on the right was way too small for the master bedroom. This was because it was used in our last home where we had a platform bed. It just wasn't going to cut the mustard for the new room. I found a side table at an auction. (It was dirty!) I put off refinishing the table because I just wasn't into Read more

Shop These Laptop-Friendly C-Shaped Tables

Call me lazy, but as any fellow fan of the laptop-couch combo knows, sometimes it can be tricky to arrange your living room seating and side tables just right for optimal typing, sitting, and sipping of a corked or brewed beverage.

Vintage and New Trunks as Coffee Tables and Side Tables

My mother just moved and was kind enough to fill my sister's NYC apartment with all of her unwanted furniture. An antique trunk that was formerly used as a side table now has a new career as a coffee table in the diminutive two-bedroom. Better yet, it doubles as storage for throws and other odds and ends! My grandmother gave each of her daughters an antique trunk when they left for college, so Read more

Stools Made of Upcycled Magazines

I headed to New Orleans to celebrate Halloween this year, and while I was down in the Crescent City, I also spent a couple days at Voodoo Fest. When I tired of the rowdy MGMT and Ozzy Osborne crowds, I snuck off with some red beans and rice to the "Cinema" lounge, which was furnished entirely out of upcycled materials. I fell hard for these stools made of rolled up offBeat magazines (NOLA's Read more

Bunny Williams Texas Ranch House Decorating Idea

I was paging through photos of a Texas ranch house that interior designer Bunny Williams had decorated when I paused at this library photo.There's a lot of love about this room, from the deep, burnished wood interiors to the leather chesterfield sofa. However, the most clever idea in the room, in my opinion, is the way that Williams styled the side table by the red armchair on the left. To Read more

Desire/Acquire: Davis Side Table

I've been lusting after this Davis Side Table ($525) from Tonic Home for months. I love the heft of the round basket weave base and the glamour of the gold finish. It also has a bit of midcentury style, but it's more updated. And the mirror top gives it even more polish! I'm thinking of painting my living room a dusty gray hue, and I know the gold would look fabulous against my walls. The thing Read more

A Side Table Made Out of a Candleholder and Books

I'd been looking for a little as can be side table for beside my bed and couldn't find anything that I loved. So when I came across a tall, white, lacquered, turned wood candleholder that was totally my style, I thought, "Hmmm." Immediately the DIY light bulb went off in my head, and an hour later I was home from the store with my new candleholder, googling tabletop options that I could glue or Read more

Tiny Side Tables and Nightstands

Browsing through interior designer couple Lyndsay Caleo and Fitzhugh Karol's Brooklyn home on The Selby, I caught a glimpse of their guest bedroom nightstand and stopped dead in my tracks. It's absolutely the tiniest little thing I've ever seen! Meanwhile, the rest of the room is notably bare, so the mini table seems like it's almost an afterthought. I definitely admire this sort of minimalism Read more
