at the thrift store. It's quite large and very ugly. lol

We desperately needed a coffee table in the family room and I didn't want to spend a lot of money. I found the table at the thrift store for $29 which is actually more than I wanted to spend, but it's a big one and I know I can make it look decent with a little work.

I plan to distress it and have all the supplies. I'll post a before and after once I get it started and completed.

I've done a lot of faux finishing on furniture through my old job. I've missed doing a lot of decor things, so am looking forward to doing this table.

The table isn't the ideal table, but I liked that it is almost the full length of the couch.

I kind of wish I had left it in the garage instead of hauling it down into the family room because now I have to get it into our basement workshop area to work on. :eek:

I can't wait to see the pictures.

We don't have a coffee table either, and I miss having one even though it's been 18 yrs since I lived in a house with one LOL
