end table gets new beginning

i wish i had a picture to show you the "delightful" 70's orange and white color scheme on this end table. it started out stained maple and went w/ a set that included a coffee table and another end table. it was my husband's grandparents set. when grandpa passed away in jan. we went to help clean out the house. so i got this piece. the story is that hubby's 2 aunt's got a wild hair one day while mom and dad were gone and painted it 70's style-ooot-ooot!!! they were in trouble!!!! but no one ever repainted it, so now it's mine and you know NOTHING is ever left alone to long before i come after it with a paint brush or can of spray paint! so today i tackled this end table. first painting it my favorite cream, tiramisu. then i painted the drawer sherwin williams "sea salt"- man i love that color! then i thought it needed something on top to tie it together. so i taped off the top and painted it "sea salt" also. then i just couldn't help myself, i painted the inside backing "sea salt" too. and i think it came out pretty cute!so pretty that i don't know whether to keep it or sell it! i was planning on selling it all along, but now...ohh, it's just so cute! it's not like i have room for it tho'! i also painted the handle w/ some spray paint i had. it's krylon's metallic canyon. it's kinda champagne-ish/light copper. so light and pretty w/ the other light colors i chose for this project. AND...bonus this was on my patio, so it qualifies as one of the things on my summer to-do list! yippee- 1 down, 1000 to go~! i am linking up to these lovely blog parties; my romantic home's "show and tell friday"and
