Matte Black Side Table

My better half returned from work the other day with this great side table. It just needed a little love and fresh coat of paint. We decided to remove the hand carved piece at the base of the cabinet. It looks like it was an addition to the piece and it didn't really go that well.

BEFORE:

Hardware removed, but still in its original condition.  Here you can see that hand carved piece at the base of the cabinet.




 Sanded and ready to be primed. It's amazing how much better it looks already.

AFTER:

Two layers of matte black paint and we're almost set. We just need to finish cleaning the hardware.

In the end I think it turned out great. Once the hardware is restored I'll post an update with the piece in place.
