Making a Basket Coffee Table

O.K. so I decided that I could use a coffee table for my living room!
 I didn't however want to spend alot of money... well maybe a little for paint and legs but that is it...
I scoured around my house and found a little picnic basket, I think its from Michael's (couldn't have been more than $25.00)   so I figured why not use it?
  I got out the paint, Matt's drill, and began to scour around for a couple of furniture table legs and thus began my experiment!

I began by painting my basket first with what was left of my Aergen blue paint (which is what I used on my other coffee table under DIY)  I wanted it to match them together as much as possible even though the styles of them couldn't be more different.

Than I went to Home depot and picked out some legs that I liked.  I wanted something a little bit retro so I went with the triangle ones. Than I got some rubber and metal washers to keep the legs from slipping and make them sturdy along with 4 nuts to screw the whole thing together.

Next I decided where I wanted my legs to go and we pre drilled the holes after marking them out on the bottom with a marker. Than I simply took my legs put the washers on the bottom and slid them through my pre drilled holes and secured each leg with a nut.

Viola!  How sexy are these legs? 

My coffee table is almost in business!

Than I simply painted them white and my new coffee table is ready to go!

I joined the party!
