Fall's arrived, and with the changing seasons many feel the need to make other changes: in clothing, education and especially decorating.

That's why I love this DIY book strap side table from DesignSponge. It's simple, it's bookish and I'm pretty sure even I could make it, given enough time in a Saturday afternoon.

After all, who doesn't have a few extra paperbacks and a glue gun lying around? If you've got a few guilty pleasures you can't bear to part with but don't necessarily need at hand, this is the perfect solution. Just get some wood, a couple of old leather belts and you've got yourself a new table.

And yes, red does seem like the perfect color.
