Table makeover

This table has been in my family for as long as I can remember.  I am pretty sure that is older then me.  As you can see it has been used a lot.  It is suppose to be used for a kitchen table but since the sides fold down it works perfectly as a side table.  It received a makeover this weekend.

Here is how it turned out.

It received a dark brown paint and a lighter brown on the top.  I also used some stain on the light brown color which helped bring out the wood grain.

We got some new chairs for the family room so I moved the old ones here in the formal living room.  I am still working on this side of the room getting it redecorated.  Here is what I have done so far.

I still need to get panels for the cornice boards and I am thinking about painting the white hutch a dark brown.  I still need to add the final touches to this room.  I was going to get most of this area done on Sunday but this is what happened.  A little bit over a foot of snow.

 I spent most of my day doing snow removal.  It didn't help that my hubby was gone for the day so I had to snow blow the driveway twice.  Our driveway is over 5000 sq ft and I can only use the small snow blower.  The big one I think weighs as much as I do and I just can't handle it.  So needless to say I had to snow blow it once in the morning and once more in the afernoon as it snowed another 5 inches in between.  Let's just say that my whole body is sore today and  could barely walk down the stairs this morning.
