Industrial Pallet Turned Coffee Table

Our first item from our picking trip is now COMPLETE! We started with a rusty old shipping pallet, and after some much needed TLC, are left with a cool industrial style coffee table. 


Sad & Lonely..


 
After the trip home, the cleaning begins! Decades of grime are being powerwashed away.


Spraying clear coat on the newly sanded steel base to seal out rust and give it a nice finish.


I'm helping!


Glossy Close-Up


And that's it!



Dimensions:
48L x 32W x 8.5H

Price:
$350.00




Please contact me for any additional details, or to find out about the other goodies we are currently refinishing! We actually have another one of these, and they would look so cool stacked on top of each other!

Our 1st Picking Trip! - Upstate New York

My husband and I went on our very first "picking trip" to upstate New York a few weeks ago to visit an old industrial warehouse, which was once a button factory. Amidst all the rubble, crunching of broken glass, piles upon piles of buttons, shopping carts full of rollerskates, and DIRT - we found some awesome circa 1930s industrial pallets and carts! A full truckload made the trip home with us, along with a few interesting smalls. After a two and a half hour journey home, we barely pulled into the driveway and we had already put our heads together to figure out how we wanted to refinish them... 


Before and Afters of the finished pallets and carts to be posted next week!
