For some time now, I have been on the lookout for a new coffee table for our great room in the new house. I like our old one we bought from Storehouse several years back, but the scale was not right for this space. I wanted something round. Then a few months back, my mom was here, and we were "thrifting", and we came across this little beauty. The best part-----
it was only $15! I am able to see the forest through the trees, so we snatched it up, threw it in the car, and I finally finished sanding, staining, painting, and sealing!
The finished table:
before: she looks rough here, but I love the shape and the legs and the large surface top
after!
table: $15
stain: leftover from a previous project ($0)
paint: bought a sample mistint on a rack at lowe's (.50)
sealer: spray polycrylic that I also found on sale at lowes ($3)
total for new coffee table: $18.50
I'll take it!
Wow, what a beautiful transformation. That table is like something you would see in a magazine. And for under $20? Amazing!

I love your table, and I especially like that you left the top natural.

ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI stopped by from CG and I absolutely love this table! You did a fabulous job on it and the cost would suit me just fine. :-)
In addition to the table, I love the rug- where did you get it?
ReplyDeleteBrooke-Thanks for stopping by! The large rug in the pic is from TJ Maxx from 3 years ago! So soft and durable, and was a great price!
ReplyDeleteLove that piece!
