The perfect table


Hello friends!
Hope everyone's Mother's Day was as beautiful as mine.

Last year when we built our gorgeous sun room I filled it with items I love!

But there was something missing.



A coffee table!  I thought we could use this pouffe that I found at Homesence.



But.... it was hard to put a drink on it in fear of it spilling.

So we were on the look out for a table that would compliment our furniture.

So I started looking at garden furniture. OMG! the $$$ signs. This was last year.

Coffee tables were too big and bulky as well as $$$ so we made do.

Now it's sun room season again and we are on the lookout for a table.

Without looking Mr WWH came home with the perfect table. My hubby went dumpster diving....

No not quite, picked this gem up on the side of the road.



Measuring 19 1/2 inches by 40 inches.  It had a shelf on the bottom that we already removed.

Perfect condition! But needed some updating. So Mr WWH went to work.


Took it apart and cut down the legs to 15 inches and then with the palm sander gave it a
good sanding.

Put it back together again and now it's ready for painting.




After a few coats of Beauti Tone Raven it's ready for it's debut.

                                                       Ta Da!





                                                        PERFECT!
                                              Perfect size, Perfect colour!













                                        So when you least expect it..........

            The best part was that it was FREEEEEEEEEEE!!



                                            Love It!

                Thanks to my sweetie for my new coffee table!


                                              Thanks for following along!

  9. That looks so good! I like the color you painted it. I happen to like ottomans for coffee tables, but my husband prefers the traditional wooden coffee tables. So mine stays put. I do think they are the most practical though. Glad that you were able to solve your problem without much money.
