When saving bits and pieces pays off.

Or:

Secondhand ottoman + scavenged casters from old bed frame + scavenged round glass table top = Moveable Coffee Table!

My friend, Sylvie (she of exceptional taste and recent move) gave me this wonderful ottoman.

After some rearranging in my living room (a work still in progress), I found that I needed a coffee table that could be used at either the sofa or the chair-and-a-half.  Hmmm.

(Small watt light bulb goes on)

I rummaged through all the bits and pieces I have scavenged over the years (and have never thrown away - you never know....) and came up with four casters from an old iron bed frame that I recycled.  I also had tucked away a round glass table top that I couldn't bear to part with, although the table fell apart long ago.

Out came the trusty Makita 18V cordless drill - quite luckily, the leg protectors, when pried off, provided a perfectly centered pilot hole for the drill.

Casters were inserted in the legs.

Glass top was placed on top.

Perfecto!!!
