Did you miss {Part One}?
It’s rather an Eliza Doolittle of end tables, scavenged ragged and unbecoming from the 
Snapshots from the restoration: 1. Glossy finished tabletop 2. Behr high gloss enamel in Ultra Pure White, 1” nylon brush for details and 2.5” nylon brush for table top 3. Fully restored table 4. Super fine steel wool (#0000) for smoothing surface between multiple coats of paint Natural Historie

Ah, fresh and new but I fear it has lost some of its character. Perhaps it's just that the photo doesn't show much of the detail. Do you love it more now than when you first found it? If so, it's perfect. :-)
Ah, yes, I had that concern too. I love the distressed look that the base had when I started sanding it. Unfortunately, the tabletop was so far gone (so many dents and peeled away parts had to be filled in with wood putty) the only option was repainting it. Overall I'm pleased. Try as I might, I couldn't get a satisfying close-up of the details.
In that case, you've done a fine job of giving it new life!
That's nice that you have a found object a new chance :)
Oh, that turned out so beautiful! Wonderful job!
Lovely, it will go great with the white wicker and lines. Very fresh!
Oh, your blog is just lovely! So peaceful and soothing - and your shop is just as beautiful...
I'm glad I found you! The table turned our great, by the way!
It turned out beautifully, I love the high gloss paint!
Best,
Tilly
Wow, that's a great job!
Love the photos!
