Sofa Table/Beverage Cart - $41; Accent Lamps - $32
A metallic sofa table/beverage cart is created using wire wastebaskets and sheet metal.
For the tabletop a large piece of plywood is covered with flashing. Two square pieces of plywood are also covered with flashing for the base of the pedestal, then four wheels are attached to the bottom of each base. The flashing is rubbed with steel wool for a polished-chrome look. The pedestals are assembled by fastening the wire wastebaskets to the two rolling-base squares. The tabletop is attached to the two pedestals.
