But if you do need more upcycled coffee table inspiration make sure you visit my coffee table and side table gallery.A plaster coffee table combines sophistication with function for any room of a home. I think that’s all the coffee tables I have to share for at least a week. This step is optional and based on your personal preference, whether you’d like the lath a little more finished or a little more rustic. Last step, I gave the plaster lath strips a coat of polyurethane. This glazing in a tube goes on just like caulk and is super easy to apply.įinished off the window with a coat of semi gloss white trim paint. The window was missing a little of it’s glazing. This is Waverly brand chalk paint, Elephant (on the left) and Vintage wax (on the right) to seal the chalk paint. You can also find hairpin legs at Amazon, for about the same price, I just didn’t want to wait a few days for delivery.Īttach a knob or handle for easy opening of the window. These 10″ hairpin legs are from Hobby Lobby, about $5 each if you catch one of their half price sales. A normal coffee table should be about 16 – 18 inches. Besides giving me something to screw my hairpin legs to, it also brings the overall height of the coffee table with legs attached to 16″. On the bottom, I added a frame of 1×3’s with leftover wood from an old wall treatment. I nailed on corner molding to the corners. This old board replaced the old sill board.

This was the original plan (from the back). It was a little rotten and it wasn’t the same width as the other three sides. I also had to get rid of the bottom sill. Add a backing and it would be just about complete. Besides the fact that it was free, it still had it’s window casing and framework attached and it opened with door type hinges, not your ordinary slidey up and down opening. In the pile above I found this! It’s a wooden window but not your typical every day normal wooden window. ![]() This is also where I purchased the plaster lath for this project as well as the American Flag and plaster lath mirror. This time at one of my favorite dump piles, the leftover pile at my favorite architectural salvage store, Second Chance in Baltimore. Like last weeks curbside rescue this one also started out as a trash find. I still have a couple of coffee table wannabees in my garage.
