Hubby and I found this coffee table at a garage sale for $5. We knew that we could restore it into something a bit less shabby. I know, I know, some of you like this much distressing, but this was a bit much for me. So while hubby fixed the top, I sanded down the legs then the top. I painted it in tones of brown and black and added a checkerboard in the center. Yes, we actually play checkers on it! Here is the final look as it sits in our basement media room.

I actually found the perfect complement to this table...red and black
wooden checkers for a $1 at an antique mall in Wichita, Kansas while visiting relatives. So total tally is
$6 for the whole project. Terry
