2012: A Spaceship Table Odyssey

Say hello to the newest table of the house....affectionately known as the "spaceship" table. With the double-decker octagon shapes and the long spindly legs, even Han Solo would be envious!

 I found this table at a thrift store in Cape Girardeau, MO. It was hiding in a basement corner, a basement they were trying to clear out, so I was happy to take it off their hands. The top surface was pretty beat up and the veneer was very thin, so this bucket of bolts was a good candidate for a tune up.

I painted it white, using the left over paint from the office re-do project, and used a metallic spray paint to paint the drawer pull, the metal legs, and the tips of the wooden legs. Looks like new again!!



Soon, this table is going to find it's new home as a bedside table in the master bedroom...but we've got some painting and furniture rearranging to do in that room first....on the August 2012 project list. For now, this is ground control to Major Tom....you've really made the grade!
