New and Improved End Table

Remember when I posted this?  It was exactly one month ago!  This table has been on my back porch that entire time!  I would look at it, think about it, and sometimes I would actually work on it...

This is the before picture.  I think that I picked it up at a yard sale for $5.  

I told the doors off and all the hardware. The cardboard boxes from moving really came in handy!

I spray painted the primer.  I didn't want to take the time to sand down everything and that would mean I would have to wait for my husband to set up his tools in the shop, I mean garage.  

Here is the finished table all spray painted.  We were off to a good start! 

After three coats of white paint and many storms later, here is the finished product.  (We had so many rain storms this past month, that this table really took a beating!)

After I painted it, I glazed it.  I took the glaze and mixed it with Minwax ebony stain.  I would paint it on and then wipe it off.  It has a weathered, distressed look and I love it!  I will have to do the same thing to my computer desk!

I also replaced the handles.  I like the simplicity of these new ones and they look great with the coloring of the glaze!  I love the table and the way it looks in my house...now I just have to move onto the next project!
