Mix and Match to Create a Custom Table

If you've ever had to furnish a new space, then you know all about the hours it takes searching stores, vintage shops, thrift stores, online deal sites, all trying to find the perfect pieces for your home that won't completely break your bank. It's always hard when you have a specific idea in mind but can't find exactly what you're looking for. I wanted a small breakfast table to put next to one of our big windows that looks into our backyard, but I couldn't find exactly what I wanted. I kept thinking, "I wish I could put that top with that bottom," until I realized I could just search for the top and bottom separately, and then put whichever ones I wanted together. YES!

, cheaper pine top, but if you would rather stain yours or let the wood grain come through, you would probably want to get something a little nicer like one of these hardwood tops instead (they have round and rectangle).but you'll have to use a table base that is one unit rather than 4 individual legs since you can't screw them into the glass.. I made the same one Elsie did for our dining room table after I saw how good hers looked (and how easy it was to make!).Once you have your table top picked out, it's time to customize the legs! There are lots of options online, but these are a few of my favorites that I found as I looked around. I I wanted something light that would match the gold fixture I planned to put above the table. A lot of the legs have different color choices and heights, so you can really get what you want for your project. Most legs can be attached with just a drill and a few screws. Since mine is a circle, I just marked the circle into four even parts and attached the legs on the lines so I knew they were evenly spaced.Just a quick coat of paint for your or nothing at all if it comes exactly how you want it
