For a long time, we used our coffee table as our dining table. We lived in a one bedroom apartment for a few years, with a toddler, and we used this as our eating area as well as our hang out area and play area. The coffee table that my dear in laws gave us for our wedding, had become worn and torn. Add to that a swamp cooler that created some lovely white spots, and this quality piece of furniture had seen better days.
Luckily, in their smartness, my in-laws picked out a coffee table that had the "rustic" look to it. I remember them telling us, "You'll thank us when you have kids running around making dents and scratches on it". They were SO right (aren't our parents always right?).

The after: (including side table)
My husband had the awesome idea to put fabric over the table. He took spray adhesive, put the fabric on top, and made an awesomely refinished coffee table. Ok, it was a little more difficult than that, but he did this project 100% by himself, and I just had to show it off.
It adds some nice spunk to the room!
