We almost forgot we were a DIY blog there for a second… just kidding. But seriously, we’ve been living in a newborn baby bubble for a while now.

But we did actually put together some cool projects before we went on maternity leave. It was the getting around to writing the actual blog post while having eye twitches from lack of sleep that have been the problem!

On a happy crafting note, this is a SUPER simple DIY Faux Terrazzo Coffee Table that makes for the perfect colorful accent piece. It’s one of our favorite DIY coffee table ideas.

Plus, it’s inexpensive and you can make it in less than an hour, which is what we like to call “winning!”.

Even better, there’s a how-to video version that we filmed while I was 8 months pregnant for kicks and giggles.

2 — If you’re staining the table legs, do this in advance as well for ample drying time.

3 — With a drill, attach the metal leg plates to all four corners of the bottom of the tabletop.

  1. Hi! Just wanted to say thanks for applying the terrazzo printable in such an awesome way. We absolutely love it! We also have a web store with the terrazzo designs and other fun printables at http://www.hellomart.co.

  2. I LOVE this table! Do you remember the name of the terrazzo pattern? Also how did you print the sheet size and on what type of paper? Would love to recreate here in London!

  3. This is so beautiful and simple. I’m hoping to use it as inspiration to update my currently lackluster coffee table. What resources do you use for printing?

    1. Just saw your feature in Good Housekeeping! Nicely done and Jared’s photography is superb as usual. Hope all is happiness with your new little one.
