Wishing for Spring

Here is yet another table I picked up at a yard sale over the summer.  I first tried my hand at spray painting, but forgot to prime it first. The laminate wood look top was slick, and the paint just peeled off. So I sanded it, and painted it the same color as my dresser/kitchen island.

It was just dark, and when I got it, it wasn't even put together.
I spray painted the legs satin black, and used my homemade mixed chalk paint in Asparagus green.


The green looks different depending on how the natural light hits it, but I still love it!
