HEAVEN I'M IN HEAVEN AND
MY HEART BEATS SO THAT I
CAN BARELY SPEAK...

I NEEDED A TABLE FOR MY
DECK AND WASN'T SEEING
ANYTHING I LIKED SO I DECIDED
TO GO WITH A HIGH COFFEE
TABLE. I HAPPENED TO COME
ACROSS A PALLET CRATE THAT
WAS BEHIND A TILE STORE. JUST
SITTING THERE WAITING FOR ME..
I DECIDED TO CALL THE STORE
AND ASK IF THEY WOULD LET ME
HAVE ONE. AND THEY SAID
YES!!!! I HIT THE JACKPOT!!

SO I BROUGHT IT HOME
AND THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKED
LIKE BEFORE...

AT THIS POINT I HAD ALREADY
CUT A GOOD 12 INCHES OFF ALL
THE WAY AROUND AND I ALSO
HAD PUT ON WHEELS. WANTED
TO BE ABLE TO PUSH IT TO
THE SIDE IF I WANTED TO.
I BUILT THE TOP OUT OF 2
REGULAR PALLETS AND MADE IT
SO I COULD LIFT OFF THE
TOP FOR STORAGE.
WITH THE INSIDE BEING SO BIG
I COULD ALSO PUT CANDLES INSIDE
AND HAVE A GLOWING EFFECT
UNDER THE TOP OF THE TABLE, I
ALSO KEPT ON THE METAL STRAP
THAT WAS ON THE CRATE. LOVED IT!

HERE IT IS AFTER...

I LOVE IT! IT WORKS FOR ME SO GREAT. I DON'T HAVE
TO WORRY ABOUT COASTERS AS ITS VERY DURABLE AND I
LOVE THE RUSTIC/BEACHY FEEL.

MAD MEN STYLE !!!!

I FINALLY SNAGGED MYSELF ONE OF THESE GORGEOUS MID-CENTURY MODERN PIECES THAT I HAVE BEEN WANTING TO REDO FOREVER!!

I FOUND IT ON CRAIGSLIST

FROM A MAN WHO ACTUALLY

BUYS UP ESTATE SALE

LEFT-OVERS IN BULK. HE SAID HE

DIDN'T THINK ANYONE WOULD BUY IT

SO HE WAS GIVING IT AWAY

FOR FREE.

HERE SHE IS WHEN I PICKED

HER UP! BEFORE....

SCRATCHED AND NEGLECTED BUT I NEVER
WOULD HAVE PUT BABY IN THE CORNER LET ALONE GIVE HER AWAY!!

SHE ALSO CAME WITH THIS HUTCH
THAT I WILL BE RE-DOING
AS A SEPARATE PIECE, ADDING LEGS
TO IT AND MAKING IT INTO A BOOKCASE!

SO HERE WE GO. I WANTED TO SAND
IT ALL DOWN AS THE SCRATCHES ON
THE TOP WERE REALLY DEEP.

AND HERE IS THE AFTER
IN ALL HER GLORY...

I KEPT THE ORIGINAL HARDWARE
AND I SANDED IT DOWN TO
THE SILVER THAT WAS BELOW THE
PAINT AND THEN BUFFED IT SMOOTH!

NO WONDER MAD MEN WAS SO
POPULAR, IT WAS THE FURNITURE!

LOVE HER AND I AM KEEPING
HER FOR MYSELF!!!
HOPE YOU
LIKE HER AS MUCH AS I DO!
