I found a credenza with a non-salvagable top. Some water stains and gouges are just too significant to remedy. I went to a veneer store and got a piece of teak veneer. The one I bought came pre-glued so all I had to do was make a pattern. Once cut out with a razor blade I stuck it on as you would contact paper. Once I sanded the piece and stained and oiled it you really could not tell that it was a new top. Be warned you need to hand sand the edges after it is glued on. The white looks nice and marble would be great for setting drinks on.

To me AT is about deeply caring about making a safe and beautiful place in the world called home. Some have unlimited funds and can buy jaw-dropping possessions and others must rely on serendipity to furnish their homes but, all are home. I visit this site to be inspired. Not just by what others have acquired but by the vibrant lives others are living. Tolly has created a lovely space for many friends and interests. I applaud her and her home.
