Great DIY Coffee Table

Here is a great DIY for those of us that would like a large scale coffee table but do not want to pay the large scale price: Wooden storage crates from your local craft/project store (these came from a Michaels but places like Hobby Lobby carry them as well) stain or paint depending on your taste and theme of your room. I would suggest choosing a darker stain and distressing them further than shown in this photo, but that's just me. When dry, set crates with bottoms facing each other and screw together with small wood screws or use L-brackers on the inside area of the box. Fill center with river stone, moss, vase or just about anything that you can think of (rotate out center for different holidays and seasons) and you have an amazing conversation piece that is not only great to look at, but offers storage as well!
