My Wonderful Coffee Table

I love my coffee table. I found it on Craigslist of course. I really loved the legs and the detail. When I found it, it had been painted a pale green color and smelled of moth balls...


I first painted the entire chest white and I liked the look of it but really wanted to have a wood top. I figured if I really screwed it up, I could always paint the sucker back.
This was my first stripping job... HA! Talk about work, and fumes... well it was worth it because here she is now......

I love it. Its exactly what I was picturing! Well worth all the work for sure.

Check out the party... linking up to:
