I am currently teaching myself how to make furniture.  I am starting with easy stuff first to learn, since I am new to wood working.  I am totally going to use this on the armoire wardrobe I plan to make for our bedroom, to supplement our tiny closet (assuming my husband approves of the finish).  I love shiny furniture!  This would be a great way to refinish and re-purpose thrift finds.  You can find the full tutorial here at Little Green Notebook of how to silver leaf furniture.

I so want to make this table from Sunset.com.  It's made out of an old salvaged window 4 legs and hinges.  I am teaching myself how to make furniture currently and this would be a great beginner project.  Unfortunately the Re-Use center that had great salvage finds by me closed, hopefully I can find a cool old window.
