My new coffee table!!

[susandennis]

ms_hackman made me a beautiful quilt using all my favorite colors.  It's been hanging on my wall in a spot where I can see if from my chaise and my computer but I've always wanted a more prominent place to see it better.  It's really fascinating to look at.  Each square has a different wonderful fabric and in the center each has a different bead.  It needs to be looked at closely which didn't work on the wall.

And then I needed a new coffee table.

Years ago I found at Goodwill a small side table that was really a basket on two interlocking pieces of word that made the legs. The basket got tossed long ago but the pieces of wood were so clever and easy to store that I just hung on to them. They just come right apart and lay flat.  They could not be more perfect for this if I had hired an architect to design the most wonderful base. They need painting but I can do that.

Today I went to Tap Plastic - which is this wonderful store of plastics and molds and cool stuff and a great store manager and he and I discussed options and then he went to work.  He cut me two pieces of nice, solid, fat acrylic.  And he had just exactly the right spacers.   

I came home and assembled and voilà.

Is that not just perfect? In every way????

But, wait there's more.  It's TWO SIDED!!!!!

I'm so tickled with this, I can hardly stand it. I have not rearranged the furniture yet but I will now that I have a center.
