We've had the same coffee table in our living room forever... It actually was my Mom & Dads when they were first married! I love it, but it's small, and having a 3 year old, I love having all the hidden storage possible!
My girlfriend (and amazing DIY'er) picked this up for free yesterday, and I couldn't have been happier to bring it home with me. I was so excited, the only "before" pictures I got were ones where I had already started to take it apart.
***update! my girlfriend had a before photo saved!! Here it is!***
The top was is REALLY rough shape, so I decided to get rid of it altogether and make my own... Which was ridiculously easy.
I found a 12' white board in the 70% off cart at Home Depot and had them cut it into 28" sections for me. I only needed three of the pieces, so I stapled them together and coated it with stain, after roughly sanding the edges.
I spray painted the original knobs with oil rubbed bronze paint.
And spray painted the table with primer and two coats of Ivory Silk Rust-Oleum spray.
After it was dry, I simply nailed my homemade table top on with skinny 3" nails (2 on each side of each board) and reattached my hardware.
Easy easy!! Now we have a cute (and multifunctional) coffee table!
