For my new craft room I needed a work table, but preferably one that wouldn't fill up the whole room in case I needed some floor space (you know, to practice my Dancin' with Stars routine). I was lucky enough to have a small, but functional gateleg table that belonged to my mom. It was my grandmother's kitchen table first, then was passed down to my mom where she used it as a spare table in her family room. She had repainted it years ago during the "great antiquing craze", and now I would repaint it again. Here's a "before" shot while I was already in the midst of another craft project.
And here's my newly painted high gloss orange table with gray trim.
What I learned from this project:
1. I'm not really into antiques, but it's fun having a piece of furniture that has some family history.
2. Paint color unites items no matter what the style.
3. What this table lacks in size is offset by its portability - it's easy to move aside when I need some floor space (you know, for that killer Paso Doble).
