Last September I purchased a small coffee table for $5. I had been bitten by the furniture painting bug and was scooping up forlorn pieces, like this one, left and right.
And then I stacked those pieces in my garage. And they sat there. Through Chiberia and Polar Vortex 2013/2014, through the mess of my basement remodel (which turned our garage into a storage unit), and through all of the wonderful summer days that are just about over.
My husband threatened to throw them out if I didn’t do something with them.
NOOOOOOOOO!
Needless to say, I got to work and chose to start with my coffee table friend. I took photos of the makeover along the way, but managed to lose or delete them somehow. So I have no “work in progress” photos to show you – just before and afters.
But you probably don’t care about those photos anyway, do you?
So let’s cut to the chase and I will show you what this coffee table looks like now.
