Teak table treasure

I think half the fun of thrifting can be the upcycling part that sometimes comes with it. This teak treasure had horrible upholstery and the top was scratched all to hell. A few evenings in front of the tv, some sandpaper, a ton of staples, great upholstery fabric scored at Habitat (donated by Palliser) and a whole bunch of teak oil and it looks almost new.

Sadly after all that, it's too big for what I need, so on to kijiji it has gone. That I guess is also one of the pitfalls of thrifting - you have to buy it right that second or risk missing it. There is no going home and hmmming and hawing about it, going back to the store and looking at it from all different angles... because poof! It would be gone. So impulse buy I did, and this time it didn't quite work out. Oh well, someone else will get to treasure it!
