That desk was absolutely solid wood and so cheap that we couldn't pass it up. Upholstery isn't something that I've dabbled in yet. It's so easy to mess up. One day though, one day.

I've never thrifted for furniture so far, but I make all of the pieces I bought go the distance, by incorporating them with newly accuired, inherited... etc. Into a surprisingly cohesive mix. So far my DIY has been limited to upholstery replacements and sanding off/varnishing worn off patches.coffeeaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08719243899202995984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041495809860773419.post-3421336954350130342013-10-12T22:14:00.622-05:002013-10-12T22:14:00.622-05:00Love the coffee table.

It is probably much more solid and sturdy than any coffee table you could buy at a furniture store! Those brass rings are a score! You'll come up with something for them. Perot for President!
