DIY Coffee Table And Bookshelf

Ever seen one of the things in the top left photo here and wondered what they were? Well, they're actually cable spools and they make for a great upcycling project that doesn't take much effort. All you really need is a little paint and some cylindrical pieces of wood if you want to add a bookshelf. Most home supply stores sell these pieces of wood already turned, which you can then take and cut down to the size you need.

After that's done it's just a case of painting the spool and screwing in the pieces of wood. Afterward, you'll have a combination bookshelf and coffee table with a shabby chic look.
