My weekend project


I got this bad boy at the thrifty old D.I.
I thought it would make a perfect little coffee table for our not so perfectly decorated house.



So I sanded her down,
beat her up a little with a hammer,
& then she was stained.



Here is the finished product.
So come stop by and we'll enjoy a cup of coffee over the new coffee table...
Wait, lets make it a bowl of ice cream!
After all, it's mighty warm these days, & I'm not about to complain about that!

So cute! When did you find the time to do that?!

I love being a fixer-upper! Lets find old junk together and beat it up with hammers and make it look pretty. I'm totally in. The best part is... do it outside and get some good sun while you are at it. Voila! Is that how you spell it? (Vou-wa-la) Whatev.
