BEFORE:An Old Smoking Table bought for $5 bucks
Antique Auditorium seats, stole for $15!!! See the "afters" below!!!
I finally found some time to work on some of the stuff I brought home from the flea market in Warrens WI. I had so much fun putting it all together! I don't know what I like better, the chairs or the table! The chairs have so much history, but the table is just so unique!
I did get the idea from Junk Beautiful Outdoor edition. They have a similar table made with a printers drawer and wash boards. It was my own idea to add the old letters and the photos. It is now my own family heirloom! I bought the printers drawer from an antique vendor, and got the washboards from my SIL Jess, they were from her grandmothers stash of AWESOME junk!!! The table top is just a piece of Plexiglas from the home depot.
The letters on the chairs are my 3 boys 1st initials.
This candle holder I made from an old chair spring & some votive holders that fit perfectly inside. There are so many cool things that you can do with these!
I left all the original hardware on the chairs, including these cool little book holders under the seats!
And lastly I re-finished this old smokers table, the inside is tin, so you can actually burn a candle inside without staring the table on fire! Well that's all for today! Now it's time to get caught up on some laundry, TV & finish my latest Jodi Picoult book!
I am having fun with Donna over at Funky Junk Interiors! Check out her blog here, I promise you will be soooooo inspired!!

Cool! I love the idea of using washboards for the sides of a table.
Wow, that is an incredible transformation to those chairs! Well done.
Very nice job... I absolutely love those theater chairs... I passed up a pair of them a few years back and have been kicking myself since... the smokers stand looks adorable... love the colour you did it in... nice job

Fun refinishes. I really like the springs, too.
Wow, I'm not sure which is my favorite either. I love that table but those chairs are just too cool! Love the initials on them.
Completely obsessed with the chairs!!! Awesome!!!

The smoker table. I have one just like it. The first antique I purchased and that had to be more than 45 years ago. Will never part with it.
Boy what great eye candy! I love the chairs BUT the table you made is fabulous! The smokers table turned out fab too.
