Faux Stone DIY Idea

ABC was a having a sale recently so I popped over to see what they had. I fell in LOVE with this coffee table from afar. The pattern on the tabletop is so pretty and so, so DIY-able (using these instructions and neutral paint colors).

Could be so good, right? Plus, if you use this IKEA coffee table as the base (and spray the legs gold like Jordan did below), you'd save yourself approximately $3700. And if you're like me, you'd tell yourself that you basically just earned thirty-seven-huno and that it's time to go shopping (starting with these). Sweet! ;)

    Love the table! Also love your thinking that you gained 3700 by not spending it and have a DIY in your house. Your office desk is one of my all time favorite diys, soo good.

    Haha, love the "just saved 3700" rationale.

    I was just going to say it looks like the desk you did in your office!

    I hadn't ever thought of faux stone, but I love the look and IKEA hacks.

    Thanks for sharing
