One mans junk.... is my treasure!

For the last several months I have been complaining about not having something to rest my feet on when we watch movies- and that we needed to get an ottoman (knowing we didnt have any money and it wouldnt be possible to buy one new) I decided to just check out KSL
I was cruisin KSL the other day and found this beauty for $5!
Isn't it awesome?

Just kidding, it is hideous I know. But wait til you see what we did with it!

As you can see- it has probably seen better days- try 1982.
But like I said- it is a TREASURE!
With a little bit of this and a little bit of that-

ya know- a little sanding, a little priming and a little spray paint....
let the fun begin!

a little bit o glazing and
bada bing bada boom baby- check out my find!

This my friend- is a sweet not ottoman- but coffee table! it will be great for all the coffee we dont drink. (sidenote: I bought some way cute fabric, badding and foam to make it a tuffeted ottoman-in case the top part looked hideous- but since it looks so amazing we will use that for my next project.... a bench!) stay tuned for my next KSL find!
