Project completed, finally.

Here are the before and after shots of the sad little table I fell in love with at an estate sale in the fall. It was in a dark corner of a dirty garage and it was in need of a make over. The original paint was a light yellow and the beveled glass top was clouded with years of grime, but otherwise in very good shape.

I think every room can use a touch of black, and I love the hint of Asian flair this brings to a traditional space. I purchased the table for $15 and used three cans of spray paint to bring it up to speed. Building on the original yellow base color, I sprayed a reddish coat lightly over it. Then, a coat of black spray paint. I rubbed, and sanded and buffed to expose all three colors and when I was satisfied with the look, I sprayed a clear coat for a little shine.
