Upcycled: DIY Chevron Table

A friend of mine lived in a beautiful loft downtown and wanted a 10ft table at a reasonable price. We threw ideas back and forth and eventually landed on a chevron table with a border and pipe legs, like the image below.



Successful trip to home depot, getting all of the above supplies! 



After assembling the legs, setting the plywood/base, I then attached the reclaimed wood in a chevron pattern. 


Halfway done! 


Done with the base and chevron. 


After attaching the border, here is the final product! 



The owner of the table is a photographer and she took an amazing photo the day she had a dinner party. I just had to share!

Upcycled: Singer Side Table with Live Edge Wood

My friend had a class project on the power of negotiating. She had a great idea to practice her theory by going to the Pasadena Rose Bowl Flee Market and purchasing something that caught her eye.

She found an old Singer sewing machine base that lacked a few screws and some love and care. We came up with idea of refurbishing it and using it as a side table. She negotiate the price and then sourced the live-edge wood piece from E&K Vintage Wood in Los Angeles. After acquiring the wood, she fixed up the base and I helped her attach the wood to the base. There is the final result!



It turned out beautiful!
