Rustic Coffee Table Makeover

Hey guys!!! I have really been falling in the love with rustic home decor lately. I recently made over my living room. We had a coffee table that I previously covered with fabric because it had tile all over it, It was so terrible. My husband chipped away all the tile and added 1X4 to the table and we later stained it. It was easy and inexpensive.

This is the before picture.... Such a mess.

Here is a shot of two of the tables that we are making over. We used a miter saw to cut the 1X4's, It makes life so much easier!

After we sanded the wood forever (maybe like 1 hour) we dusted it off and stained. You guys, I HATE sanding. It drives me insane but most of our projects need to be sanded. I am very please with the result and may sanded it a bit more. I think this would look cool with a distressed look.

Does this project seem simple to you? Would you try it?
