A Makeover Transforms This "Unique" Online Find into a Living Room Focal Point
Briefly

Paula and Martin transformed a unique coffee table with a silver panther base they purchased from Gumtree. They replaced the original glass top for safety, using a glazier to create a custom fit. The couple also repainted the panther from silver to black to better suit their home's decor. Despite the project costing around $490, they felt it was worthwhile due to the table's rare and personalized aesthetic, enhancing their living space with a distinctive art piece.
"We got rid of the original glass and made a template for a new glass top. We gave those measurements to a glazier, and they cut new glass for us with holes so we could safely screw the glass into the top of the panther."
"The total for the project - panther included - was about $490. It was costly in comparison to what we actually paid for the coffee table, but worth it considering how rare the finished product now is."
