I fell in love with this coffee table when I saw it, even if their puppy had chewed on the corners. The top is glass so it can be used to display favorite things and also has a big drawer on the bottom.I did some heavy sanding on it, but left the original paint because I liked the soft blue color. Once I had sanded it I stained it with mahogany stain.
Don't puppys have toys to chew on?
Once I was finished I added some of my favorite things to the top drawer, some old books, marbles and some dried flowers etc. I love old books and the cover on them are so beautiful that they deserve to be shown off. The little container holding the marbles was my Great-Grandmothers tooth pick holder.
I love the color and the distressing, I think it gives the piece alot of character.
I love the final finish!! I know it was hard work...but well worth it. :)

ReplyDeletecristie, it looks so pretty! i love the uber-distressed look on it. it fits it well! i have worked on so many pieces that dogs have chewed on. somtimes you can hide it, but sometimes you just have to roll with it. ;) thanks for sharing at my party!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic little table! Great color choice.
ReplyDeleteVery cool table, I've seen that kind with the display portion for a lot of money at stores. So great that you could find one at a garage sale and give it new life!
