Bringing Garbage Home


Some people up the street were throwing this table away. It was in pretty bad shape and one of the legs was off. I've glued the leg back on, stripped it, sanded it, and stained it. It is still not any sort of heirloom quality but free is free... and I have several "children" here at home who are (hopefully) thinking of leaving the nest one by one again soon.  So this will work as one of several pieces of first furniture.



Ignore the trash on the floor. Right now the table is dry enough to be taken out of the high traffic areas of the house, but not dry enough to put things on just yet.  I still have all my sanding/ stripping supplies nearby too.

    Interesting design. Is the centre section supposed to be covered with glass?

      Yes, it came with a cheap/ poorly made plexiglass oval, but it's very scratched. Not sure we'll even use it. The table looks like it's in great condition now, so maybe we'll spend and get something made for it.

    It is lovely, it has character, and will be perfect as a table for departing kids to use.
