Su Casa member Grumpalita recently posted pictures of a Craigslist find that went from forgettable to fabulous with some refinishing know-how and lots of hard work. Grumpalita writes
I found a table on Craigslist that had nice lines but was tragically painted over. After some stripping, sanding, and staining with india ink, it looks much better now!
Here's how the table looked when she found it.
To see her hard-won results, just read more.
I'm pretty floored by this transformation. And what a great project to celebrate the last week of Renewal month!

10Fantastic! The table looks millions of light years away from the craigslist photo. Kudos to Grumpalita for seeing the potential and making it happen.
11That transformation gets a WOW. My plan for spring is to find some garage sale junk and transform it - something I've never tried before. I hope I'm as successful as Grumpalita!!
