Earlier this Summer, my wife and I attended the garage sale of a friend of hers. One of her sisters was selling yet another Mid-century coffee table in less than ideal condition. It was topped by a matching glass top that was cracked. We ended up buying the piece for $7. I brought it home and began restoration.
The first to go was the glass top. There was nothing I could do with it and I think even if hadn't been cracked, I would have gotten rid of it since I liked the look of the table better without it.
After disassembling the piece, I taped off the white tile inlays (sorry, apparently, I failed to get a picture of the top prior to disassembly!)
The leg looked like a dog had chewed it
Completely sanded
After adding a few coats of Minwax Provincial stain and polyurethane.
The dog bites are barely noticeable
In place in our living room.
i was going to say this looks pretty similar to a table that i refinished for us, but then i looked again -- holy frijoles, are those white inlays?? that looks incredible. chalk up another amazing score!

ReplyDeleteYes, or as my kids call them, "built in coasters". Uhhhh, no kids...
