SKIRTED TABLES

 The skirted table concept is inexpensive and so under used.  It's a fabulous option for a small space.  Very clean but not dull.

I've used 2 saw horses from Ikea and a piece of wood - there is also a table on wheels at Ikea I've skirted.  Currently I stack my suitcases inside each other and  stored underneath where no one is the wiser.  This can be done in your living room or hallway.

   For an office I've taken 2 filing cabinets as a base and added a topper with high gloss paint or veneer.  Then stapled the fabric directly to the table top and hot glue a gross grain ribbon on top to hide it.

 The next idea for the TV is great. Baskets hold the CD's and a simple shelf unit underneath.  Cover it with glass or a mirror in a hallway for the glam factor.  I think this TV is actually mounted on a door - but think Chinese Screen.

This is for the bathroom and can hide an old cabient - but with a dark wood topper this would be a devine piece with it's Greek Key motif and pleats. 

 An old bookcase can be covered and everything neatly hidden.

  

It's all about the details - the ribbon trim and mirrored top.

SIMPLE IS GOOD

Love these ottomans... I love this look, and credit is due to Pam Pierce for making it popular, causal Swedish Farmhouse in the natural linens. There is an empty space under my farm table where I sit sometimes with my lap top and now I know how to fill it.  Why have an empty space - really that's not going to happen - not in my house. Found all of these on Cote De Texas blog.  Once the ottoman is added the 2 chairs flanking it will go somewhere else. There's another common element in the photos - old French pots.
