Default Coffee Table

Hi Everyone,

Here's another "Before & After" item sourced from JumbleTown. This time, a retro-coffee table is transformed into something approximating art by self-confessed design-nut, Zee.

Zee writes: "I took my inspiration from the €1,600 Gio Ponti-designed "Paolo" console table and Marimekko's Vapaa Pudotus fabric. For the most part I was able to use paints and supplies I already had, so the total cost for this project was a scandalously cheap €13."

Default Wonderful work

What a great transformation on this table. Zee did a marvelous job!

(OK, it wouldn't go well with my chintzy shabby chic look but I can appreciate all tastes) The thing is it got recycled and was changed to suit its owner. Great inspiration for others. It could have been given a dozen different looks by a dozen different people. Love it.

Hi KellyK,

A separate Before & After forum was suggested a while back by a few Members. The Managers and Techies are mulling over it at the moment. I'll keep you updated.

Hi i think its a great idea. . I like to go for items that need to be done up and would love to show them off when there done. If it could be done it would be great.
