Charleston cocktail table, Amy Howard Collection

Amy Howard's lovely home in Memphis has been featured in many design magazines. It is also featured on the website of the The French Mix, a McKinney, Texas store that features all sorts of lovely France sourced and France inspired items. The owner of the French Mix characterizes Amy Howard's furniture as on 'the leading edge of home decor, mixing classic French and Italian reproductions with modern pieces that work together to complete a new look of Modern European". According to the French Mix, "Old World is OUT. Modern European with a mix of classic is IN. It must be said that to blend classic style with contemporary is not an easy thing to do, but Amy Howard has taken the challenge and excelled in the task".

Using coffee as watercolors! I'm not very artistic, but this was a fun trial project one evening. Completely inspired by www.justcoffeeart.com

Here are two of the coffee tables during the finishing process. They have been stained and were just clear-coated with a highly-durable, high quality polyurethane that should withstand a high degree of abuse.

Here it is - just before the finishing process.

This picture shows the legs being glued into the tabletop... not much more to describe. Still pretty rough, but the table is beginning to take shape.
