| Original table in beat-up condition |
Never judge a piece of furniture at first glance! I found this table at a second hand store and it was in bad condition on the top - lots of water damage and scratches. But I loved the classic design so I decided to re-purpose it. I created two narrow wall tables from this one old piece.
For those who want to attempt this DIY project, the steps below are what I did. For those who would rather have me do the dirty work, please call me

 |
| Remove the center extension and gate legs and separate the ends |
- Determine desired depth of table and mark lines with a straight edge on either end of table
 |
| With a Saws All, saw through table using a straight edge to keep a clean, straight line |
- Fill gouges with wood fill and sand out scratches
 |
| I applied two coats of Annie Sloan Old Ochre Chalk Paint |
- Gently distress paint finish
- Apply and buff one coat of clear wax
 |
| Anchored to wall with "L" brackets |
