Re: Upcycled Coffee table

Hi @Leetes1963,

 

Thank you so much for sharing your project and welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you join us.

 

I love the contrast between the black paint, the rattan and the timber look contact. It's given the old coffee table a wonderful new lease on life.

 

Congratulations on your beautiful "new" coffee table.

Afternoon @Leetes1963 

Modenised it nicely :smile: It definently looks current in style and I must admit your top of the table has caught me by surprise! I looked at it and went "nice" then read what you had done, then checked the before photo... You said you used contact and man that has fooled me twice! :smile: Very nice work!
