Refurb in the burbs

Last summer I bought a new home and have been staying busy with remodeling, fixing, maintaining, and decorating it. Of the list above I prefer the decorating part. Since we are on a tight budget I've been surfing the web for good deals. I often check Craigslist but recently I've been hooked on the local garage sale groups on Facebook. I was able to snatch up a large coffee table for $10. The table legs were fairly questionable, the height was too tall, and the the color of the stain was not what I wanted. After purchasing new legs and a few cans of spray paint at Home Depot I now have a new coffee table. In total I think I spent around $50 with the table and supplies. Overall I'm pleased with the result.
