Oak Flooring for a Table Top!

Just a quick reinvention today.  I am busy getting ready for flea.o.logy this weekend... yeah!








 
I bought this little table with an enameled metal top this past summer.  But when I got home the enameled top turned out to be the perfect answer to a enameled metal medical cabinet I had without a top.
 
So getting ready for the sale, and cleaning out, I found the topless table, in need of paint and a top, of course.  After trying about four different possible solutions for a top, I spied the left over oak flooring my daughter had left when she sold her house and cleared her garage.  (Yes, I take hand me up junk from my kids  :-)  )

 
Mr P. put the tongue and groove boards together and attached them to the top.  Then cut off the sides.

 
I painted the table and sanded and varnished the top.  Now its all ready for a new home ....
 
 
Now we just need the right person to come to flea.o.logy and fall in love!!

  2. You did a nice job on that table! I had such a nice time visiting with you today at Treasures. I already have an idea for displaying the Elephant board...some kind of red/white/blue rosette or tissue paper fan. I also found a white elephant planter at DI. Thank you again for that board...I love it!
