Every now and again I do a project that I feel really pleased with.
This often coincides with how much The Atlas loves it too
This week it's a coffee table especially for him. I thought we needed another coffee table he wasn't convinced so I wanted to make sure it was a coffee table for him.
It started as an awful fake wood veneer with brown metal frame and now it's a Tin-Tin-tastic makeover. Not bad for a $5 starter.
I spray painted the base and decoupaged the top... I'm pleased with the final result.
I used pages from a Tin Tin book of The Atlas' that was falling apart - he picked his favourite pages.
I've had a lot of comments on it (especially from blokes it would seem).
Joining in for crafty sharing with beautiful Leonie.

I just checked with my better half- cool or sacrilege? (He can have very strong opinions on the treatment of comics etc...) He thought about it and announced "COOL!"
Looks great!
Looks so good! I bet all your boys love it x
Hi Miriam. This is awesome, I can imagine every male who visits you would want to take this home with them
Its great Miriam! Its no wonder you all love it! Its cool!
Love it! How can you not...its Tin Tin! And a great way to save an old comic book :)
Well I love that you turned something falling apart into a lasting treasure to be admired daily. Some people would just chuck the comic out - so you saved it in my eyes.
Very cool Miriam!! I love these coffee tables, the perfect size!!
Hehe, I'm showing off a tea trolley today, I thought G wouldn't like it so I made sure the fabric on top was green (his favourite) teehee
It's super cool! I'm on the look out for some old comics to transform a suitcase for my son, no luck yet but you've inspired me to keep on looking!
