Lately I have been in a creative rut. Im not sure if it has to do with the cooler weather, visitors, sick kids, or just laziness, but I really need to get back at it. I recently (recently meaning about 2 months ago) bought quite a few cable spools to create tables out of, and I have only made one table so far….can you say slacker?! I had told myself that I would make one table at a time, and once it sold, I would make a new one, but this strategy has been somewhat of a failure so far. Not that I didn’t sell my first table, because I did, but ever since it was picked up, there has been this empty space in my family room, just waiting to be filled with another table that has yet to be made. You would think that the emptiness in the room would serve as motivation, and in some ways it has, but it has been cold in my garage, and at least one of my kids has been sick almost constantly this winter (I know, excuses excuses). I think the hardest part is trying to find legs for these tables. I really like the hairpin legs on these tables since they add a modern flare to the the rustic/industrial feel of the table top, and can be incorporated into quite a few different room styles.
This is the first table that I made, and I loved the teal hairpin legs! 
Despite my procrastination, I can’t wait to try different variations of this table! Maybe some stain, different color legs, or a completely different style of legs all together. I am determined to make at least one more in the next 10 days! I can’t wait to share my next one with you!
These are a few inspiration tables that I may pull some ideas from
I also love the idea of putting a modern geometric base on a table like this. Just imagine an industrial top on one of these bases. I know that look might not be everyones “thing”, but I love the idea!
