I don’t know about you guys, but—
I have wAy better luck buying off of Craigslist than selling.
I don’t get that, but, oh well. As long as I can find some interesting things to work on…!
And here‘s something I just found! It came with a “slate” top, which was actually stamped concrete, but I’ll find a use for that later.
AND, I also picked up another old door! Pro-ject!
THIS picture looks REALLY exciting, doesn’t it? →
How ’bout THIS angle—
Okay, I know it’s a coffee/cocktail table, but I see an
awesome upholstered ottoman
with a large vintage silver tray on display to hold drinks!
Ya’ with me?

So yesterday I headed into my studio to get busy
◊ stripping it,
◊ sanding it,
◊ waxing it- clear wax and a little liming wax in key areas.
My inspiration? Think raw wood and Restoration Hardware.
And before I quit for the day, I padded it and topped it with batting. Tomorrow I’ll work on the upholstery and welting.

Does it have wheels? Given it’s size, it would definitely be more functional with a nice set of casters.

Normally, I would LUV wheels, but the scale is a little weird for wheels on THIS piece– :’ (
