I look at a lot of blogs and am continually amazed at the furniture transformations you fine people accomplish. I pick up pieces and have every intention of doing something but usually cop out and sell them as-is leaving the work to the new owner.
No more (or at least less more)! I'm challenging myself and the only way to do that is to get out there and do it. Check out my upcycled coffee table if you please.
Since I tend toward lazy (and fast) solutions I knew I had to buy a piece that could only sell with a makeover. This way I wouldn't fall into old patterns! Here is how it looked when I brought it home.

| Yikes, you are a bit ugly. But you've got good bones. There's a beauty hiding in there! Since I'm lazy I actually did three pieces of furniture at the same time. I'm slow to start but man, when I get going, I go BIG! I'm saving those for another post. In another attempt to challenge myself I've put this up on Craigs List. I think I want to branch out into selling furniture that way. I won't have to lug it to shows and it can GET OUT OF THE HOUSE! Here's hoping it works and thanks to all of you for the continued and fabulous inspiration!  |

Paint does make a difference, doesn't it? This looks great and I hope you have good responses on Craigslist. Thanks for stopping by my blog, too!
Very nice! Great little vignette you created.
Nice job! It looks great in the lighter color. The basket looks great underneath too. Thanks for sharing at Transformations and Treasures!
