Ok, two bucks, yep that is $2 (plus I got two other tables for that same $2 that are pretty cool too!)! I just love auctions! I was so excited to get it cause I thought it would look great I front of my couch that I have not yet purchased yet. But I have been waiting and watching for that perfect couch. Here she is before…
I think it has a bit of a Danish look to it, don’t you? The top and the bottom shelves are a veneer which I usually stay away from but for some reason this table really appealed to me. I stripped it (it had a reddish tint to it) and it looked much better already! I used a Minwax special walnut stain wiped it off almost immediately for a light even stain all over.
The inlay on the top is beautiful! The veneer does have a little ding on the top corner…you can see it here in the picture below.
I used a satin lacquer to refinish it with, took three coats to achieve this look!
Please pardon the pillows on the couch, I had surgery yesterday and am hanging out around the TV.
I am linking up to these great parties!
