not cheap, just thrifty

so i found this table on one of my ventures to the thrift store. i love that place. there's something about not paying full price for things that really gets my blood going.
i've been looking for a coffee table, and this one was a beauty (not at first glance, but i had a vision)so i went to work sanding, distressing, painting, glazing...

and ta da, an elegant looking coffee table to accent my new living room furniture (we ordered it 2 months ago and just barely got it!) for only $40 and a little bit of work. not bad eh?

That turned out really great and it looks like it totally matches the furniture you already had. Good work!
