These are probably familiar to you, but considering the collection is half a century old this year, it’s worth another look. Available in a variety of materials and sizes (the dining and coffee tables deserve their own post).

So clever, and definitely a piece that people will ask about…it would be interesting to see if others are inspired to find their own coffee tables and turn them into book racks.

“matt carr found inspiration when he found two vintage coffee tables. creating a bookrack for his own home, he configured them ingeniously to give these tables a new life as bookshelves. this design is now re-created with a mahogany natural top and black lacquered legs.”

Large ottomans for coffee tables are one of the better ideas for a living room. It’s much more comfortable to put your feet up on something soft than on wood or glass, of course, but it also softens up the whole feel of the room, eliminating those hard corners that our shins inevitably find one way or another. Large ottomans like this can also double as extra seating for large gatherings as well.

Similar in style to the Railroad Tie Dining Table we posted a few days ago, this coffee table duo is superb with its combination of railroad tie wood and simple metal frame.

“Skilled woodworkers transform these reclaimed railroad ties-made from teak, pine, and ironwood-into a nesting coffee table with sturdy metal frames that have been given a waxed finish…Trim, versatile, and at home in any interior, the smaller one stores under the larger table when not in use. Or, use them individually to double your decor options.”

This looks like hard plastic (it’s what a grown up Lego chair would look like almost), yet it’s foam with a durable finish that won’t have you worrying about spills. Pretty smart.
