Before and after - coffee table


Posted by PicasaOkay, so i've got a lot of time on my hands...but honestly, I LOVE doing this. Getting an old piece of furniture and giving it new life. I actually enjoy the process of transforming things, whatever it may be.
I get the pieces from various sources, often its something lying around, like the old coffee table which had been outside for kids use. After the glass lifting episode previously, i thought it safer to get something less fragile. Nothing nice and pretty lasts long with the residents of this house, so i'm pretty happy with cheap sturdy solutions. The chess table in the background is hand carved African wood, a thrify find from local market, and Danny's introduction to chess.
