Look at her! Isn't she beautiful? DON'T LIE. That thing is just plain ugly. So here's how I skillfully acquired this beast: On yet another rainy day at Anna Maria Island, we decided to go store-hopping. We went to this awesome beachy store where they had furniture and fabrics galore. Basically, I was in designer heaven. So, after all that coastal-inspired fun, we went to this antique store right by a gas station (that's when you know it's classy). And right there is where I fell in love with this old, unloved, and completely soaked coffee table. At first, I walked by and said to myself, "Meh." After a few more looks, I noticed that it's like all those bamboo accents I've been noticing in design magazines recently. That's when my design ideas began to flow. Now, with my $18 table in hand, I'm going to turn it into a bench!
Here's my cost breakdown:
Table w/ Glass Inserts: $18.00
2 Cans of White Spray Paint: $6.00
Sandpaper: $4.00
Fabric: $24.00 The fabric store I went to had Waverly on sale for 40% off!
Foam: $35.00 with my coupon from the store.
1/2'" MDF: $2.00 I'm not lying. From the scrap pile!!
And all that adds up to make this:
TAADAA!! I looooooove it. Hopefully it will find a place to call home soon..
My next project is a headboard! So keep your eyes peeled...
Enjoy the dwindling days of summer! (:
Sarah - this came out great. Now go do that headboard.
