Coffee table transformation!






Sometimes I find a piece that's too old to be fashionable...but too new to be vintage. Such was the case with this chunky, outdated coffee table. It was in great condition for how old it was (probably because it was so ugly that no one could muster up the resolve to use it), so I started scheming how to transform it back to useful...and cute. A cream color lightened up the gravity of the wood. Topped with a dark glaze and careful distressing, this piece really started to shine! I added baskets to double for the cuteness and practicality factors, and recruited the DH to install the antiqued hardware. Fresh flowers and a cup of tea complete the look--as if that will last long with Hurricane Hazel rummaging around. This is my favorite transformation yet!
