{Friday Find} Chatting on the phone never looked so green

How cute is today's {Friday Find}?  The seller calls this a vintage telephone table.  "THIS IS A NICE PIECE MADE OF QUALITY TEAK WOOD AND MEASURES 25 INCHES HIGH X 35 INCHES WIDE.  IF INTERESTED CALL 707/824-0607.  $65"  

Since I have been teaching myself to sew, I know for a fact how easy and inexpensive it would be to recover that seat pad.  And if the color of the wood doesn't match your decor, a little sanding and a coat of earth-friendly paint, and voila!  For $65, I'd guess $4 for fabric/thread, $2 for sandpaper and $10 paint, you'd have one stylish sitting area or landing strip.  Remember, let's keep these vintage pieces going with a little TLC instead of spending the same amount on a new, lower quality item (i.e., IKEA, Target).  As a consumer we do have a choice!  No more junky furniture that doesn't last!  Hurray for re-use!
