Back in October (of 2009), I picked up this table from a curb. It wasn't something I have ever done before, but I felt like it would be an easy project.
I scrubbed, sanded, and primed it. I wasn't about to take any chances, this thing was nasty. My cousin had actually lugged it into my trunk at night. Had I seen it, I wouldn't have touched it.

The tile is a gift from Iman from her trip to Spain, abstract Ka'baa canvas by Peter Gould, white Target frame with picture of Jenin on my late grandmother's veranda, and glass house thingy also from Iman. I found the "T" shaped stick at Tenaya Lake during our first trip to Yosemite.

It looks great! I love recycled stuff. Peter Gould's stuff great, mashaAllah.
