TABLE TERRARIUM
Infographic designed and brought to you by
I was working out on my tiny patio one weekend and was about to take a nap. I was about to lay down my laptop when I realized a few things things missing. A table to set my stuff on whenever I decide to take a nap and a little greenery to tie up the surrounding garden. So I drew up a few plans for a coffee table until I came up with the idea of incorporating a miniature garden together with the table.
I have a few glass panes left from a recent renovation and make use of it by building the table around it’s size. I picked out 3 pieces of quarter inch glass from a pile. One for the top measuring 12 inches by 36 inches and a couple for the sides both measuring 32 inches by 5 inches.
