Nothing that a little paint can't fix!
I gave them two coats of ASCP Old White.
Then a coat of clear wax and dark wax with some distressing thrown in.
It sure helps to show off the detail on the legs!
Now the pair is in the shop!
I think I've found the antidote for "forgettable."
Your end tables really POP now! What a fabulous transformation.

How great that you found a pair and both in good condition, Cyndi! I love the look. Did you leave the original stained parts on the top and drawers then or add to them? It actually looks darker in the after pictures. Maybe the Old White makes them appear that way.
