I took a fairly simple construction coffee table, removed the legs and cut new, longer legs from 2x2 lumber. I added some cross bracing and voila! Easy peasy bar height table from a coffee table that was too big for my living room! See my blog for details:

I did a painting for our daughter that the background looks similar to your table top.
