Coffee Table Update

I needed (I really should not classify this as a need!) a new coffee table.  After searching Craigslist, I found something that with a little elbow grease would work.

Of course I forgot to take a true before picture – still trying to get with the blogging program!  The before pic is the table with a coat of liquid sander.  A couple coats of Heirloom White and walnut stain on the top – love it.

The Rev hard at work!  Apparently I should take photographer off of my future occupation list!

After

Decided to distress after it was in the house.  Put an old towel under the legs and sanded away.  Added a little stain with a q-tip.  Looks perfect to me!
