You Can Make "Real" Oilcloth

The post I did over the weekend for Curbly sheds some light on what real oilcloth might be. After you read all the comments, you can decide if you'd like to try the old fashioned way or just stick with what is being sold as oilcloth, but is really laminated fabric.

GOODWILL HUNTING-MODERN COFFEE TABLE

I just couldn't pass up this sleek modern coffee table the other day at another brand new Goodwill Store near my house. This Goodwill expansion is killing me. The price was unsettlingly high at $24.99. I wavered, but caved. I found they usually do the high pricing right before the 50% off day. As the photos show, there is a weird stain on top that needs to be cleaned up. I love the lines of legs on this-so mid-century. Can't decide where ANOTHER coffee table will go, but I can't let go of this. (I wonder if I can shove it under my bed).
