Found the shag rug you love, but can't find the right size?

One 5x7 rug was too small to be placed under this bed. Ordering the rug in a larger size was not optional.






Solution . . . Purchase two rugs, tape together underneath, and val a! The accent rug is now substantial enough to be placed under the bed.

Need a temporary table?

You may have all the items  at home to devise one!

Find a stool. It can be constructed from a variety of materials such as concrete, wood, metal, or even a large colorful pot turned upside down.







Next you will need to locate a piece of glass.   The glass from above was once used to top a traditional fabric covered table that was once popular.  If glass is not available try a large tray, piece of stone, or granite.




Adhere the top to the stool by drilling in a screw or using a sealant.

Finally, top with decorative items.
