The Multi-Faceted Coffee Table

I picked up this cool coffee table at the same time as the Infamous Favorite White table.  It was pretty beat up but I saw it's potential immediately.

It's potential to be MY coffee table.

I share the home of "The Man of My Dreams" and he is NOT funKy.  He believes that wood should be wood colored.  So, if I wanted this to be MY coffee table, I had to let him pick out the stain color and go through the arduous task of stripping this bad boy down.

The reason I call this "The Multi-Faceted Coffee Table" is after I spent a good part of my life getting this down to bare wood, I discovered it had many different types of wood, including veneer.  This, of course, is the biggest reason why I choose to paint instead.

But since it was staying, I didn't mind.  My honey chose a lighter walnut colored stain to match other pieces in the house and it is definitely one of my favorites.

A nice, beefy piece of furniture that you can put your feet on.  Thank You, Me!
