It looked so daggy before I got to it but I really loved the shape of it.
After a good scrub and a quick sand I gave it two coats of off-white paint (I find white paint looks a bit like undercoat so always use this soft colour).
I am really thrilled with the finished look -I am kicking myself that I didn't paint it before my visitors last week!
I love this potted geranium sitting on this tray.
My favourite decorating books look just great on the little shelf underneath.
DN 2 recently gave me these cute little wooden plant labels for the gardens - they look too good to put out in the garden...
Only one thing left to do - sit back with a coffee and enjoy this gorgeous book!
I'm joining Susan @ Between Naps on the Porch for Metamorphosis Monday and also Marty @ A Stroll Thru Life for Table Top Tuesday.

The table looks wonderful in white! And your geranium is beautiful! I'm now following your blog and can't wait to see what else you've posted about.
Oh how pretty the table turned out. It does have the greatest shape. I love it. Your books are perfect for the bottom shelf. Love the pretty little tray on top and your lovely vignette. The flowers, book and a cup of coffee are just perfect for a wonderful treat. Thanks so much for joining the party. Great table and vignette. Hugs, Marty

What a beautiful piece of furniture, love the round shaped legs...it looks so much nicer painted...great choice.
very nice job! Yes, my in-laws will be here in a few days and I'm blogging instead of all the wonderful projects I should do before they get here. lol
What a cool table! It looks great painted off-white, and I love the way you've decorated the top. That's a great spot for decorating books underneath, too!
Wonderful table re-do nd I'm loving your overall style.

Looks like a totally different table. I like the off white too, straight white can be harsh sometimes.

Simply adorable!! So glad I stopped by!
The table looks beautiful in white! I love it. I will have to remember to use an off white color. It's very shabby chic!!
Happy Wednesday! :-)
