Hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend. I lucked out and had front row seats to a John Lennon tribute at a small theater Saturday night. I have never sat front row in my life and it was amazing. I am a huge Beatles fan ever since my mom took me to see Beatlemania when I was in the 7th grade. Off my love of the Beatles and onto the vintage table redo.

| Very cool table but the top was a mess and I really wanted to stain it but the previous stain ran too deep. |
 |
| Primed w/ gray spray primer. Too many nooks and crevices to brush on so I took the easy way out. |
 | |
| Painted gray w/ the slightest touch of blue...just had to. You know me and my blue thing. |
 |
| I'm thinking maybe I should paint the top a flat black.What do you think? Or maybe a harlequin pattern w/ charcoal black? |

| I'm going to put it in my Etsy shop as is for now and see if it moves. If not then I'll change it up a bit. UPDATE: A couple of blog friends thought black would be the way to go and I agree. So, I got up this morning and added a couple of coats of flat black. I like it better this way. What do you think?  |

I think you should paint the top black if it doesn't sell on Etsy!
Beautiful table! I like to spray those detailed pieces too, I love all of these details!
Looks lovely! I think you should paint the top black, it'd really make the blue stand out. :)
Love it and I'm sure it will sell right away!
I think I just heard angels singing:) What a beautiful piece and makeover! I'm sure this will sell in a heartbeat!
Happy Monday sweet friend! ~M
WOWZA...love that. Love the color combo and I love the glazing. Well done my bloggette friend. I only wish my linky party was still going to you could come show this baby off. Next week? I hope you will.
thx.

What a beautiful piece made even better with paint. Love the color and the dark top.
It's even better!!! I was having a hard time picturing it with a black top but it really brings out the detail in the legs. I luuuuurve it :)
The black top was the perfect touch to the piece! Love it! Spray priming it was the way to go...I just rolled/brushed primered a really annoyingly curvy/creviced piece today because it's too cold to spray here. I am bitter about it. :)
This is a beautiful table and you did a great job.
Wow, awesome table! I was going to say no black but it looks great now. Good luck on your sale. I hope that you will link this up with my Show and Share linky party, going on all week. http://craftygeordi.blogspot.com/2011/02/show-and-share-sunday_20.html

I like the black...why not take it one step further and marbelize it?
That is one great looking table! You had to spray it, like you said to many creases. I love it I love the grey!

i love it! it looks great. the black really does enhance it. thanks for sharing this at my party.
WOW that looks awesome. I have a similar table that I would love to funk up, however the hubs won't let me...such a party pooper!
I love the added blue. It really transformed it and showed all that great detail. I have a dog chewed table that is a bit like yours. It is on my agenda for painting. Your table inspires me to get after it.
Gorgeous table!!
