Just a couple of tables . . .

As part of the bridal shower coming up (and just a coincidence) I really needed some tables for the gals to sit at for their picnic lunch.  My very good friend (and now ex-neighbour) was moving from her house into her forever home with her honey and had three coffee tables that used to be her Mom's but had no use for them and did I want them? DO I WANT THEM . . . stupid question . . . of course I want them . . . who better to give them to than me!

You may have forgotten that the colour scheme for the party is purple, orange, red, pink and cream but the actual colours I have incorporated into my back yard are red, orange and splashes of blue and green so I thought the best colour to paint them would be red.  I still had some china red stain left over from a project I'd done many years ago on an antique sideboard so if it was still usable that would be my first choice . . . and it's usable . . . thank you God (and all of you other little angels than hang out with me from time to time).

Here is the before (there is one more and it's the same width but longer)

after two coats of stain here's the after!

LOVE THEM . . . stay tuned to see them in the shower pics!
