One Mans Trash is our treasure!

So Tony and I after we got married got a bunch of pretty nice hand me down furniture. Unfortunately, we made some pretty poor choices and have since sold it to some lucky college students up at BYU-Idaho. Since then we have collected mess ups from Dad's old business, dumpster diving (OK, so we found the coffee table next to it), and from old employers gone horribly wrong. Our furniture has been lacking serious sophistication... until now. I know that we still have a long ways before it really all comes together, but here are two pieces that we have redone in the past couple weeks. (sorry there is no "before picture" of the coffee table. Trust me, it was sad. It had a stained wood top, glitter and mystery marks included, and a hunter green trim and legs. It was always cluttered and I didn't care because in ways it looked better that way.)

The Futon after Tony had sanded it.

After!!

Our Pretty Coffee table!

I just want to thank the poor sap who threw out a perfectly good coffee table... If only they knew the potential this little sweetie had.
