One day last week I had a chance to preview some stuff that a friend of a friend was selling. I have been looking for a coffee table for our bonus room with a shelf that could be used for a TV table. The ceilings are a funny shape, and I need something not too tall. I found this little mahogany coffee table for 20 dollars! So…..I decided to try it out in the living area for now. We have always thought we didn’t want one because of space, but I really like the way it looks. It needs some of the scratches and nicks fixed…but you can get the general idea. Not bad piece for 20 bucks!
The coffee table belong to the girl’s mother, and she was remodeling her home and decided to part with it. I think she was glad the table went to a good home! Thanks for stopping by!

Looks fantastic!
Great table!! I don't know if you have heard of Old English Scratch cover but it is great for hiding all those knicks and scratches- I use it all the time and it makes furniture look new- I think it must have a little stain or something in it as it is dark and it will get under you fingernails (I was using some today for a piece that I was selling in my booth and my fingernails look like they had been digging in the dirt all day so you might want to wear gloves when you use it!)

I love it and really like the shelf on the bottom--many more years of use in this one!
Not bad at all, Diane. What a deal! I like the column legs and the shelf comes in handy to store stuff in....Christine
That's a lovely coffee table, and a real bargain! :)
You got a great deal - looks nice.
Hi Diane, This is a great piece! I love the shelf on the bottom! ~hugs, Rhonda :)
What tickles me, is that like me, you already had something to put on it! See, you NEEDED that table, or did that table need you? LOL! Like the way the fall veggies look in the tray too!
What a great table & love the lines. Are you going to strip & stain it? ☺ Diane
Good morning Diane, I love the coffee table. It very like one I had for years. Then my daughter took it for even more years. Our poodle Babette teethed on it and took off a good part of the corner on one end. It was, I did say was, a part of our family history and now it is history. Diana finally replaced it. I loved the two levels it had. A great purchase for $20. and it looks great with the fall look.
I am sharing my grands today, I hope you don't mind. I am linking up because these costumes are all 2nd time around.
Have a wonderful day. I bet you are having fun helping with your son's booth. This business is fun but not easy to make a living.
Hugs xoxo, Jeanne
Diane, I really like it. I think it's perfect. Just get a wax pencil (colored mahogany) to fill in any scratches. You did great with that.
XO,
Sheila :-)
Great table! I love the warm wood color. Jean
Love that coffee table and what a deal you got for it! I love that style - just add a little Old English scratch cover and I'll bet those little nicks will be all gone! I like how you've dressed the top too!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Hi Diane!
Great table! I love the style of it. And a real bargain!
have a great day!
Hi Diane!
This is a nice table and such a bargain! I'd love to be able to stack my magazines on the bottom shelf if it were mine.
Hugs, Pat
I like your new old coffee table!!
Hope things are going good with you. I haven't been over in awhile..sorry. Seems there's just not enuf hours in the day anymore.
I will join you for 2nd Time real soon, tho.
Take care...
love, bj
Great table, Diane!!
I keep furniture markers and Old English around and use them quite a bit!:-)
It looks perfect in your living room.
I've been looking for a coffee table for months. I tripped over the dog and fell on the last one, breaking my computer, the table, and almost my neck. The dog slept right on. Anyway, a new one wouldn't look right, so I need to find a "previously loved" one, but all the consignment shops have are HUGE!
I guess I've been looking in all the wrong places. This one would work great! Nice find!
Diane...I am late but liking your new coffee table. Great find. Hope you have a great weekend.

I like it! It has character! I took the coffee table out of our living room when Tim was a baby. I just put one back last year. I like having one again.
take care,
Dawn
What a great buy, Diane -- and it looks perfect in its new home. I'm sure you're going to enjoy it.
Good morning my friend. I was happy to see your comment today. Yes, we do love our new addition. I have forgotten what mischief they can get into though. LOL. I'm hopping to keep her out of trouble and loving it.
I hope all is well with you and your delightful family. I should get on face book more. I do like it but as you know blogging and visiting is overwhelming.
Have a happy day.
Love, Jeanne
Just dropped by to say hello and that I'll be back to link up for Tuesday.

It's a GREAT piece and almost identical to my Grammy Sigman's. Every once and again I kick myself for not taking it. Alas.
