I was especially tickeled by this response
"Mmmmm.... let me guess; paint it white with some distressing???"
Good guess Debbie, but not this time. Actually the table was not going to continue being a table at all.
I cut it, and painted it (very pale green, not white) and then yes I did distress it. But It's not a table anymore.
It's a wall shelf....
I added a piece of wider wood on the top to give it more display space, but beyond that, this was a pretty easy project. Once I got DH out there with the circular saw that is. I was afraid I'd cut off a limb if I tried it.
So that's my table project, I'm going to do the other side now for sale, and keep my eye out for more neglected coffee tables with great lines.

OMG, I think you have now come up with it ALL. You truly are the most Creative person I know. I just Love it, what a Fantastic shelf.... Keep it coming, HGTV will be calling soon, Im sure of it.
Hi, I have enjoyed visiting your blog so much. I love the table idea. I am going to use it! I love repurposing things into other things. I have some ideas on my blog re these things if you want some inspiration come on over and visit. I have them grouped into repurposing/recycling category on the right hand side. Cheers. I'll be back for more!...Pam
That is the most creative use of a table I've ever seen. I love it! I could see some pretty plates hung between the "legs".
You are amazing! I love that shelf! I've definitely got to get over my fear of power tools.
Well, aren't you just too clever! LOL
Looks great. Are you enjoying this cooler weather today? I've got the windows up and the breeze is down right chilly! Love it.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

You smart cookie!
oh- that is THE most clever thing I've seen in a looong time! So cute!
Brilliant! I love it! Alas, now I have to go buy that faboo but unrescueable coffee table I've been eyeballing for years at a local store. Thanks for the idea. Can your DH come to VA? XOX
What a great idea for the coffee table. I saw something similar on HGTV where they used a dining room table cut it down as a mantel.
