An ordinary console table goes from plain to prominent.

What You Need
  • Unfinished wood demilune table
  • Brown kraft paper
  • Sandpaper

  • Aluminum leaf
  • Water-base polyurethane sealer
  • 1/4-inch mirror
  • 1/8-inch mirror
  • Three ready-made round beveled mirror coasters

How to Make It

  2. Have the tabletop cut from 1/4-inch mirror and the skirt panels from 1/8-inch mirror.
  3. Sand all surfaces of the table, wipe away dust, and apply primer to all surfaces.
  4. Apply aluminum leaf to the legs and edges of the tabletop and skirt panels, following the manufacturer's instructions.
