Design Porn—Table design: 6 Tables that’ll leave you floored

Party if 500, your tree is ready.

Table design inspires me. It inspires me to build a room around one. It inspires me to get in the shop and build my own.

Table design: Love this simple DIY re-invetion of a simple shelf. It elevates this project to table status.

It even inspires me to play Legos with my son Jack.

So I’m fired up to share these finds from our Pinterest page: Seven tables just dripping in awesome.

So awesome that a tablecloth would result in a fine.

Or worse.

From table design DIY style to maxed out wood works, these meal mesas do all the incredible things you can do to make table design rise, like marrying materials and luxe-ing out live-edge slabs. You’ll be floored.

I call this table design ‘upcycled awesome’.

Luxurious live-edge. MMMMMMMmmmmm

Will you marry me, said the log to the aluminum.

Party of 500, your tree is ready.

Aaaaand, I guess we all know what’s for desert.
