Todays project.............

This is my project of the day......I have had the paint for months:D

This table and benches was a Garage Sale find some years ago

for a mere 35.00!

It is solid wood and extremely heavy.

It is not what I would have chosen for the center of our space on the lower level...

but

it was actually exactly what I needed.

Since we do most of our living on this level, I needed a place for kids to draw and eat.

It serves as a place to do many of my projects...

like sewing and serging:D

For several years it was my spot to cut out patterns as well.

Since it has a laminate (Ugh) top

which is functional, but not very pretty

I wasn't able to paint the entire table.

I left the bench tops natural wood as well

and

when the weather is a little warmer

I plan to take it out on the patio and sand/stain/seal!

This color is "Toasted Poppy Seed" from Walmart

and it isn't a gray or a true black...

somewhere inbetween:D

The dark bottom covers a world of sins

plus goes much better with the little black bar we have in the same area!

Next......take down the lighting fixture

and

spray paint it black:D

That is for another day....LOL
