Reader's DIY

Robin Stanfield sent me the most amazing DIY. I just had to share.

Start with a console table...


Add a little faux orange snakeskin...

Attach with spray adhesive.



It's getting exciting isn't it?


And Ta Da!!!
Can you stand it?
Hurry, what can we cover with fabric??!!
This is what I need for a desk in my room.
Aren't you impressed?

    Okay, you know I have an almost identical parson's table behind my sofa just waiting for its makeover. I got grasscloth to re-do mine but maybe I should go with a faux snakeskin (or ostrich, which was another option). I need to get crackin on mine! Thanks for the great inspiration!

    I am actually doing this project as we speak with real leather..so it is fun see how she was adhering the materials together...good to know that spray adhesive does the trick. It turned out great.

    Thanks guys! I have to admit that I got the fabric at our discount store here and couldn't figure out what to use it for. I knew it was going in my 7 year olds room, just didn't know the application. It really was a simple project...fabric cutter, metal ruler and spray adhesive. Would really just recommend a good game plan before starting. Walker is thrilled with his new table and I am think of putting glass on top for use as a desk in later years. Thanks for all the comments and compliments!
    FYI I have several yards of this fabric left for anyone interested. Just email me at the above posted email. Thanks!
