How to Create a Shadow Box Coffee Table

Memorabilia from important events are like chapters of people’s lives. When new families are formed, it is often a struggle to incorporate everyone’s memories without resulting in massive amounts of clutter.

• A shadow box coffee table is a great way to tell a family story and to keep the memories on display for every family member to enjoy. With its glass tabletop and underneath storage compartments it’s a great amalgam of function and display.
  
• Less is more, keep the displays minimalistic in order to emphasize and highlight the chosen items on exhibit.
  
• Substitute and replace the items from time to time in order to keep the display fresh and new. As the family grows, its story evolves you want the memorabilia to reflect that.
  
• Coasters on this coffee table is a must, not only because of the glass table top but also water/coffee rings are no way to honour a wonderfully exhibited family story.
