Coffee Table Updated.

Not the most stylish thing, but painted black it looks good. Free of course!

Look at this poor thing! It was free, but was falling apart. All the drawer joints came apart, and the wood was dried out. However, it was free and the marble was in good condition. I had big ideas about replacing the tiles, but further investigation revealed a ply wood backing that would be very difficult to remove without damaging the frame. Then I saw some peel off vinyl tiles on Amazon! Eureka! I was able to remove the little discs between the tiles and then replace once the vinyl tiles were in place, which makes them look even more like real tiles.  The handles on the drawers and cupboard are so pretty too. I revived them with a pewter paste, found online. The wash
stand is now in a guest bedroom.

 

 

This Ikea chest of drawers was given to me free. You can see it had a 'ding ' in the front of the top drawer that was easily filled with wood filler. Then I painted it with chalk paint and finished it with matt varnish. It sold for £50 which went to Pancreatic Cancer Action UK.

Very tatty, but FREE chest of drawers.

The final result. Sold for £50. The proceeds went to Pancreatic Cancer Action UK.
