If you asked me to make over this table, I probably would have stripped it, repainted it and maybe added a new knob. No. Let’s be serious. I would have started stripping it and gotten annoyed at how hard stripping is and left it half-naked in my garage for a year.
Not Deb! She had a vision for this simple little table. A deep clean, a fresh new paint job, an added shelf on the bottom, which I didn’t even notice at first because it seems like it was always meant to be there, and the best part, a colorfully planked tabletop made with 29 cent pieces of lath. Love it. I’m inspired to do something similar, because I’ve got this big stack of old yardsticks that I just don’t know what to do with, but now I do! C’mon Lindsey, follow through!

Do it with your yardsticks–I’ve been on the hunt for some to re-do the top of my grandmother’s old treadle sewing machine case. No luck finding any locally yet!

May 30, 2013 at 4:09 PMGreat idea to use the lath. I’ve been trying to come up with some thin cheap wood to cover a table top without cutting down plywood.
