When I found this kitchen table I knew it was LOVE at first sight. Mainly because my grandmother has this exact table and since I was a baby I can remember nothing but wonderful memories around her table. But I really didn't need a kitchen table...
So I had my handy man, Sean, saw it down and reattach the top at the perfect height for a coffee table.
I love love love the casters. They will be great for pulling it up to the couch for game nights with family or friends.
I wanted a fresh, white table and if it gets a little beat up over time then I will just consider it as being authentically distressed.
I don't think this guy will be going anywhere, anytime soon.

Your new table looks so pretty! My grandma has this table as well. The nesting tables you recently showed are also terrific. It must be really hard to part with so many of the beauty's you create. Have a great day!
We always want you to keep them because they always look so GOOOD in your house! Though I must say it must be fun to have ever-changing decor.
Glad to see this one's got staying power - it looks awesome. Gotta love that it's on wheels!
I love that! It is SOOOOO beautiful!!!
Glad you're finally keeping one!
I have a very similar table sitting in my garage right now waiting to be redone. I had actually forgotten about it. The kicker is, I've been searching for the perfect table to turn into a coffee table! I'll have to have my own handyman check it out. :-)THANK YOU!

This table is definitely a keeper! It looks wonderful in your room.

Love this. What a great idea for a dining table (every once in a while I see those at estate sales or salvation army but don't need a dining room table!)..I'm gonna stash it in my mind for the future. Thank you and you DEFINITELY need to keep it! :P
love the wheels! i never would have considered casters on a coffee table, but now that I see yours it makes sense ..... I might have to think about adding some :)
Ooh, I've been looking for this exact thing for my living room. Yum. Love it.
That is a fantastic piece! You are so creative! I would definitely hold on to this one if I were you! Have a great day :)

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! THAT IS DEF A KEEPER!
When I was young my mom did the same thing to their table and they still have it in the same family room, still on it's casters, serving as such a special and useful piece. I hope to steal it from her one day. Love the white. Definitely keep it.
very very nice! I have had a few of those in shop and they are gone FAST!
That is an awesome table! I love it and those castors are perfect!!!
Oh, it is perfect! How smart you are! laurie
wow Holly!! Looks amazing!!
I love this table! It looks amazing!
The table is so beautiful!
holy moley spicy guacamole! that table is stunning!!!
and, i love that you left it white and will let it be authentically distressed. with a toddler in the house, it'll be beat to perfection in no time. ;)
i recently painted our bad condition coffee table a flat creamy white and it turned out beautiful. put a few coats of (water based) polyurethane over it and i hate hate hate the shiny look plus it drew attention to the knicks. and now, "orange-ish spots" are showing up for no apparent reason. so even before seeing this post i'd decided to sand it, repaint it, and leave it to be "authentically distressed". :) can't wait to see yours over time.
Oh I need that table! lol Is it really just that easy to cut it down or is there a trick to it? Silly question right? Love it!!
I absolutely love your table!!! Great idea.
You do such a lovely job on all of your pieces! Gotta love those wheels!
I'm in love! You do such beautiful work! Gotta love those wheels.
I absolutely love that coffee table! Such a great idea of turning a kitchen table into a coffee table!
Such a lovely table! Great find!
