DIY Convertible Table

20110108ConvertableTable.jpg

Space is at a huge premium in my tiny apartment, which is why I absolutely adore Noëlle’s hacked dual-purpose table. Using an adjustable trestle for legs (available at hardware or home stores), it can easily convert from a coffee table to a dining table. She even used a pair of curtain rods attached underneath the tabletop as a guide track for the trestle. I’m hoping that Noëlle can help me figure out how to make my couch convert into a workbench, though something tells me upholstery and soldering irons don’t mix well.
