INSPIRATION CAFE #12 - SHERRY'S FREE CRAIGSLIST TABLE TRANSFORMED


Welcome back to Pondered Primed Perfected for another dose of Inspiration Cafe!  It's been a crazy, busy time around here but I can't wait to show you my little DIY project.

Scott brought this free table home when he went to pick up something off Craigslist and they said "You want any of this other stuff?"

You can guess what he said.  :)

It was pretty messed up so I sanded it down and then stained the square leg portions with clear poly to bring out the detailing in the boxtail joints.  :)  I thought they were dovetailed at first but looked it up to make sure...they're called boxtailed if they are squared like this.  Good to know, right?

I stained the tabletop portion with a dark brown stain and left it otherwise unfinished.  I knew I wanted to do something fun with it, but at that time I had no idea what....

  3. Transformation that start with something you got for free are the best. Can't wait to head over and see what you did to it.

    Thanks for introducing Sherry. She deserves combat pay for injuries incurred in the line of photography! I guess she knows now that stumps are sitting not standing. Loved her post and her humor!
