my new old coffee table



Once in a while I will have great luck finding something on CRAIGS LIST






I recently came upon this while while searching for a















it was coincidental that the old pine finish on the table matched the cupboard that I purchased a few months ago at an estate sale






When I first found it it was really dirty and had crayon marks on it.
All I did was wash it with Murphys Oil Soap






the price for the table was $75







Little by little this room is coming along.  Everything in the entire room with the exception of the sofa and love seat was purchased used and at a bargain price

Oh that's a killer coffee table, the size is just perfect and I adore that wood tone too.
I'm going to show my honey so he can make one similar for me!
Your room looks lovely and I commend you for being patient and it makes me feel good to see that I'm not the only one who doesn't have instant rooms!

LOVELY table! I was wondering if you'd mind sharing the paint color you have on the wall above your bead board in these images?

Thanks!

I love old pine furniture. I have some pieces from the early 1800s. I never get sick of them. Just found your blog. Glad i did.

Can I ask for the dimensions of your table??? I am in the process of getting a table made for me and the size of yours looks like it would work in my living room. Thank you.
