I Love The Underdog and a New Coffee Station

I don’t know what it is, but I have always cheered for the underdog. The guy, gal, team or furniture, that has so much potential but
 just can’t ………. make it


Until I saw this piece of course. Sitting there in the corner of the twins preschool with all the other 1970’s oak wood rejects. 
Waiting to be discovered. 
Waiting to be heard. 
Wanting to get out of detention hall.
I had a vision for this soon to be coffee station, for the teachers that help shape my kids lives and……drink coffee.
Wanting so bad to be noticed and to fit in, I began to think of ways to help my little underdog out using a sign from the preschool as my inspiration.
 After a good cleaning and sanding , I applied some primer to the base. 
That alone got it out of detention.
The rest of the plan was simple.  Paint the base with two coats in blue and stain the top with a few coats of stain in ebony .
Now, not only is my underdog turning heads, it’s been invited to this years prom and was voted most likely to succeed by all the other left over 1970’s oak furniture and…..
 from the teachers drinking their morning coffee.
Who or what’s the last underdog that you helped out?

  1. And, I'm sure those gals are so thankful for you to in giving them such a fun, new coffee station! I love it … perfect color choice, too (underdog be gone)!

  2. What a cheeful looking table you created! That looks so much better than the "before". The teahers will love it, I'm sure. The sign is a perfect addition too.

  3. Excellent appreciative idea to do that for the teachers. You certainly get an A+.

    I'm not sure what the last thing I did to help an underdog was, but seems like I always have my ring containing my super energy pill open.
