----> Tall Coral Table

I don't even know what you'd call this table. 
It's high enough to sit bar stools at and almost too high to put anywhere unless you have vaulted ceilings.  Regardless, it's adorable - and when I spotted it at a yard sale a month ago I knew it was coming home with me. 
Are you shocked it's about to be painted coral?!  For some reason I just can't kick the CORAL CRAZE.

I started out priming it and then noticed that the cracks on the top where the wood meets were a lot more noticeable once I sprayed a lighter color on, so I used wood filler to fill the gaps.  Elmer's Wood Filler is awesome and is a must have if you're refinishing something because you never know what imperfections are going to show up after you start to spray something.

 BEFORE

AFTER

 




















Here is a side-by-side of what a big difference the glaze makes.  It gives it a richer color after it's been glazed.  I didn't glaze the table that I have in my entryway because of the colors I was working with.  I wanted bright, fun energy so I left it alone.  The glaze gives it a more dramatic look, and I love it. 

My new mantra: When in doubt, GLAZE! 



 
Aaaaaaaand...here's a bonus:
I'm sharing the coral love and this table is for sale!

K, so now you need to show me how to get the "share toolbar" at the bottom of each post like you have.

Cheers,
