The glass coffee table is a excellent focal level for any room. It can take the form of anything because all you are generally undertaking is placing a thick glass pane more than a sturdy base and viola you have a great hunting coffee table. One of the designs I've created in the previous gets a great deal of attention even though simply because it is so particularly distinctive to the region I come from.
I employed to have a glass coffee table that I created out of an antique lobster trap and everyone appears to comment on it each time they come into my house so I figured I would create this post here and allow you know what I did to construct it.
The lobster trap coffee table is fairly effortless to create. I grew up in New England so there were a whole lot of shops out there that offered old nautical equipment. You can discover anchors, steering wheels, decals, oars, fishing nets, all sorts of antique materials that will truly make your space stand out if you happen to be going for that nautical theme.
Anyway, I came across this previous wooden lobster trap one day. It was rather beaten up as it had after been utilised deep beneath the sea to catch lobsters for foods. Some of the pieces within of it were broken and the netting was a small bit torn up. In case you didn't know, a lobster trap has a wood paneled frame and inside that frame are two separate netting compartments. The net is developed so that the lobster will crawl in to get at the bait but by no means be able to get out. If you have ever observed the show Deadliest Catch on the Discovery channel you have observed the innovative model of these issues. In the old days of lobster catching you would have one particular trap for maybe two or 3 lobsters, now the scale has gotten a lot larger.
So I fixed up the lobster trap by repairing some of the broken bits and then I went to my nearby hardware retailer and asked them to cut out a thick glass pane for me. The lobster trap is a rectangular box so I just measured the top of it and made the glass to individuals measurements. When I acquired the glass I place it on best of the trap and viola: instant coffee table.
