I picked up a solid black coffee table from my local goodwill; it was peeling and chipped but I could tell it had good bones. So I paid the lady $14 bucks for it and fit it into my car. After stripping all the paint from it I discovered it's teak, a common wood used to make furniture in the 60's --score! The top however, was made from a laminate/formica type of material, which needed to be fine-sanded and painted. I chose black to give it a sharp look that also ties in with the tinge of black still in the pores of the wood after stripping. It yields a vintagey look on this classic living room table from the '60s era. After doing a little research, I discovered it's a name-brand piece that sells for as much as $350 on other vintage websites.
You are freakin' amazing!
