There has got to be another word to describe this awesome piece of furniture. Coffee table? I don't even drink coffee. Lemonade table? Tea table?
junk catch-all table? We will consider it a work in progress.
I was running one Saturday morning, and came across a garage sale. One thing led to another, and next thing I knew, I was shoving a $20 scuffed-up pier one brand coffee table. What a deal! When Jason got home, we discussed what to do with it. Between both of our ideas, I was really happy with the final result. It is totally both of our style.

| I pulled the nail heads off, one by one, and ripped the leather off. |

| Let the sanding begin. This is where Jason's skills became more important than mine. |
 |
| letting the paint dry. One of the many layers. Paint, sand, repeat. |
 |
| hard to tell in the picture, but the colors are grey and sea foam blue. |

| laid out postcards I got from anthropologie. Each one is a different classic Penguin book cover. |

What do you think? I've got some leftover postcards that I'd love to do something with!
