My husband left town for about four days this week, leaving his side of the garage empty.
Nature abhors a vacuum.
So I filled it up for him.
I am tickled to be back to looking for my furniture bargains! I really didn't know how much I missed it!
In celebration...here's my first furniture project of 2011
What about the cabinet-at-the-top-of-the-stairs, you ask? Didn't count. It was for me, and I worked on it INSIDE the house!
I picked up this little coffee table at Deseret Industries this week. It didn't look too good, which explains why I got it for $10.
I have a friend who was looking for a bench for Touch of Class Photography, so I snatched it up (he does amazing work if you happen to need a photographer in northern Utah).
But this is a coffee table, not a bench. Meh. No biggee. This particular table has iron legs (see?), which seem rather bench-ish, and it's higher than a normal coffee table. And it was $10. It'll work.
The top was good solid oak under the horrible finish.
I applied two coats of Minwax Antique Walnut Stain, and two coats of hand-rubbed polyurethane.
Still looks like a coffee table to YOU? Well, probably, since it's in the middle of my living room!

I guess I should have let my children sit on it after all...
