When you live in a 550-square-foot flat in Los Feliz, even something as seemingly minor as a side table becomes a tricky addition to the small-space puzzle. The solution? A $25 vintage window from the flea market.

This crafty DIY fits a side table into a tiny nook beside the couch, leaving plenty of space underneath for more storage as needed.

The window frame was sanded and stained, finished with a new glass top, and mounted on the wall with simple support brackets. The final price tag came to $65 — but could be less if you salvaged materials elsewhere.
