When I found four matching salvaged balusters, I knew that I wanted to use them as legs for a coffee table. Using RH's Balustrade Coffee as inspiration, I built my own version for $50, much less than their price tag of $1195. I was able to use wood that was given to a friend after he cleaned out a storage building for a client. This was my first time building a piece of furniture and I love how it turned out!

I found these balusters at a booth during the Haven Blogger Conference in Atlanta, GA. As a precaution, they were checked for lead before I used them.
