Side table Inspired by Anthropologie

I fell in love with this cute table from Anthro....but when I saw the $395 price tag, "Gasp!"....so my wheels started turning and I figured out a way to create  a similar style. I actually think mine is cuter. What do you think?
This is the Original Anthro Table $395

First I put a primer, then paint, then wiped the finish with a Minwax Gel stain.

Frame out the top on the table like building a picture frame. This woll hold the glass.

I found this aweome retro fabric at an estate sale for $3. They were curtains in their past life.

The finished project!
