So last year I was watching some television, generally I tend to do so and am generally bored to mildly entertained by what I see. But this day they had DIY projects on CityLine done by Designer Wendy Russell which I saw and though I could craft that too! So I did. Well I didnt right away because the tables were $15 each and I needed to make 2 tables thus purchasing 4. It uses Ikea Lack side tables, which is really quite lacking on its own, I mean kinda piddly and unsubstantial, but I digress. So a month or so after this aired I was in Ikea and they have lowered the price of black and white tables to $8 (other colours are 9). At that price I snatched them up. You fully make 2 of the tables and then take the tops from the other two and glue them to the bottom of the first tables using construction adhesive and voila new much more attractive tables!
I used PL Premium Ultra in a small container instead of the large caulking tube. It holds really great, perhaps to great.... I cant seem to get the lid off it now. Oh well I just cut off the cap next time and then that will be the end of the glue.
This is how the table is when it is done.
I placed 2 together. Then I looked over in the corner where my small ottoman was, back at the tables and back at the ottoman and thought to myself hey that just might fit in there. wouldn't that be nifty! Yea I use the word nifty, I am bring it back.
So I tried it and they fit under the table! So I left my home post haste to get to BouClair and purchased a second one. The final result is thus:
If you would like to see where this project originally came from please visit the

Hi! I'm looking to replicate this, and I'm looking for the same brand of stools as well. I found these:

The smoke blue color on the website doesn't look quite as deep as your ottomans' color. Do you know the color of the ones you have? Thanks!

AD I dont know what colour they called it, but the ottoman was from BouClair Home http://www.bouclair.com/
Which I see does not seem to have my colour listed anymore, though I know they still have other ottomans of that colour in store.
The link you posted looks close to the same colour, but I would not use the name Blue Smoke at all to describe what it is. Teal, Turquoise, etc. The closest Benjamin Moore Colour is 2055-20 Pacific Ocean Blue.
That ottoman MIGHT be same colour band they just have bad naming skills or it could really be more of a smoke blue, so hard to tell over the internet.
