re-purpose #1

 In an earlier post I talked about some re-purposing

 projects I had planned. I have finished two of them. 

I promised to share them if things went according to plan. 

Well, I am happy to say that...we are two for two!!

So, here is the first one!

Our daughter and her hubby bought a "pub" style

 dining table when they were first married

 2 1/2 years ago.

If you don't know what that is...

it is a high, square table with stool type chairs.

A few months ago, her in-laws gave them

 a bigger table and four chairs and they were kind

 enough to give their "pub" table to us.

First, the hubby cut the legs off to make them shorter

and them I lightly sanded it...

 primed it...

painted it black and sealed it with polyurethane...

and...voila! a new coffee table!!

I've always wanted one, but never had the space.

Now, with our addition, I finally do...and I love it!

It's not perfect, but I am pleased with the results

 and I think it will serve us well.

As a matter of fact, two of the grands have already

broken it in for us and it seems to be holding up! :-) 

 

The rug is new, too...

more on that later!!
