Once up on time, after Dena of Hearts & Sharts had been visiting a friend, her friend asked, “Hey, do you want this crappy table?” Dena hesitated, then decided the sturdy but stained table might be perfect for turning into an upholstered ottoman someday, so took it home to sit in her garage.
“Meanwhile, I’m running around town like a moron looking for a coffee table,” Dena laughs. One day, dreaming of the coffee table that she couldn’t find, she realized that the solution was already in her garage. Some serious sanding removed the stain on the tabletop. Dena removed the wood legs and replaced them with hairpin-style legs made of metal rebar that she found on Etsy. To give the tabletop the patina of aged wood, Dena tells us that, “I put a bunch of random hardware in a sock and beat the table to give it some inconsistent dents and dings, hit it with a hammer, a chain, and other random stuff,” before lightly staining the wood. The result is just what Dena needed for her living room!
