  • Someone in my neighbourhood put this dark old coffee table out for trash so I scooped it up and gave it a more modern makeover. I stripped the top and refinished it with a light and airy paint wash and then painted the base a bright off white. One person’s trash is another person’s awesome new furniture piece!

  • @kristinab1078
    @kristinab1078 Před 2 lety +36

    I'm glad to see you kept the integrity of the wood grain on the top of the table. I think this adds more value than if the entire piece was covered in layers of paint. In the future, I suspect solid wood pieces will be harder to come by and natural wood or gently washed wood will be more appreciated than it is now.
