Ok, I admit, when I saw this before … thing, I was pretty skeptical. When Suzanne from Pieced Pastimes brought it home from an antique shop, her husband was pretty skeptical too. We saw junk, but she saw a new coffee table.
When she found that this old mill cart had once belonged to the Harry Stoller Company, she even stenciled the name on the side to add more history.
And guess what? Her husband likes it now, and I have to say I love it, even though I guarantee I would be whacking my knee on those metal end pieces every time I walked by. Thanks Suzanne! See more HERE.

March 31, 2010 at 8:42 PMHow funny! I just did a post on coffee tables on wheels! This looks great and even better than the ones they are charging almost $1,000.00 for!
