I curb shopped these tables. They were all topless!
A friend of mine gave me a bunch of random boxes of laminate and hardwood flooring.
You can see that I didn’t even paint this one. I used the tongue and groove flooring to make a top. I used my Black & Decker nail gun to attach the top.
hardwood floor table top:
This little cutie needed a little more. I cleaned it up and used Howard Restor-A-Finish to blend the color and cover the scratches.
On this table I used more flooring. I nailed the tongue and groove flooring in place.
I used a little stain on the edge to make it match the top a little better.
Cathy and I have also used this tongue and groove flooring for seats of our benches. I still have quite a bit left in my storage. Do you have any ideas for repurposing flooring? If so, please share them with us in the comments below.
I’m enjoying my time with Jamie, although I’m fighting a cold/sore throat. I did some thrift store shopping today. I went to a local Salvation Army that I thought was very overpriced. Jamie and I went to a huge place called Music City Thrift. I made a couple of purchases there. I’ll share those next week. We hope to do some more thrifting this weekend.
I hope you have a great weekend!

Flooring = Tabletops? Wow, I feel like you just smacked me in the forehead! Doh! Genius idea, I bow to you Gail!!!
Oh, and don’t ya know… if one of your neighbors see their trash on your blog, they would just CRY!! Hahaha, ah, the satisfaction.
Way to go girl!!
Oh the wonderful things people throw away…….even if they are topless! 😮 LOL
Loved the re-dos on them, great job!
I’ve seen people use the tongue and groove on ceilings……some even paint them out white for a cottage look. 🙂
Have a happy Friday! 🙂
