Repurposed Window
I have been a fan of these window tables for a long time now because I absolutely love repurposing projects. Whats really always drawn me to these, though, is the fact that you can lift the top up and display some decorative pieces in there and you can change it up as often as you like!

Wheeled Taylors
If you have a few hours to spare and $100 in your pocket then youll be able to create this gorgeous Pottery Barn knockoff coffee table. Since youre making it yourself, you get to play around with colors, so Id definitely suggest a few coats of chalk paint that you distress slightly.

World Map
Ive seen some coffee tables where a map was simply decoupaged to the top, but I much prefer this look of engraving (tracing) the outline onto the wood itself. And now that you have this technique in mind, you can use practically any image to engrave, as long as its not too intricate.

Cute Suitcase
Oh. My. Gosh. This is adorable! Once again, Im delighted at the clever repurposing of something that probably wouldnt be used for its intended purpose anymore. I would paint this in some crazy, bright colors to get that awesome mix of classic vintage and playful retro.

Simple Metal and Wood
The thing that really strikes me about this table is the fact that the base and overall form is quite basic and simplistic, but as soon as you see that tabletop you know what all the fuss is about! And if you arent able to make the metal base, theres a link in the tutorial for a wooden alternative.

Whiskey/Wine Barrel
When I think of a rustic, warm, cozy home, I can picture this whiskey barrel coffee table right in the very center. Its sturdy, its bold, its in-your-face and its absolutely beautiful! Try to get the barrels precut if possible itll save you a lot of time and effort (and you dont really want to risk cutting it incorrectly either).

Vintage Trunk
I have always loved the idea of a big, heavy, old trunk or chest in my house somehow, but the ones Ive seen are always way out of my price range. So Im delighted to have found this tutorial! Its actually made from plywood, but youd never guess that just by looking at it.

Planter Table
Its always good to have a bit of plant life around you, so why not build a coffee table around a planter? This is more of an outdoor table since the plants need sunlight, unless you can find an indoor spot that catches the sun. Otherwise, Id even consider just filling the planter part with interesting little stones, marbles or whatever!
