Typing table

Here's a cute little remake that was really fun to do.  I found this wooden typing table at a resale place on our last all-day-Saturday-bargain-hunt.  She was in really good shape, just not very pretty.  She was cheap too.  So a good deal all around. 

 
This is the table taken apart and put on my work table getting primed.
 
 
Her legs all ready for some new paint.
 
 
Here she is all painted up and put together.  We lived together for a few days and then I decided on something different... 
 

...I changed my mind from white legs to black legs.  This change happened because I wanted to stencil this checkerboard pattern on the table and I wanted to use black paint.  Looks great with the pretty green. 

 
The stenciling took awhile, but it was worth the time and effort.

 
A little distressing with a hand sander and she's all finished and ready for some cute little cozy corner.
