The Books & Bottles list of books .. shared!!!!

January 25, 2018 Thomas Wegner
dark books.JPG

Since my last post on the much loved Books & Bottles party some folks have been asking about the actual books which were shared and exchanged with each other. I thought this was a great question and so I have decided to publish the list here. 

Below are the books which guests brought because they have significant meaning for them or wanted to share with someone. This is a special and unique collection of titles, you'll likely not see any theme emerge in this list. Rather, this list represents the collective of a great group of people. May you find something great in it for you!

Enjoy!!

I recently found a vintage Mid-Century-Modern coffee table in pretty rough shape. After some sanding, a light stain and a coat of poly it was looking real fine again. It’s a genuine article with the tell tale signs of a MCM piece - tapered legs

I made this cute little footrest from an old beat up stool. New upholstry, new finish and trim, plus a shorter leg length and it’s a whole new deal.
