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."

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.
Very beautiful job! I love these little tables. Thanks so much for sharing with the newbie party.
they look fabulous!
what a cute pair! i love the contrast!
Wow, such a nice transformation

Oh how pretty! I'm loving the two-toned look! Nicely done once again!
Look like some Bombay tables I have, now they look like one of a kinds (or two of a kinds):). Great job, I featured you on Restyled Sundays this week.
you did a great job on your pair of tables!!! I love that you left the natural color... I'm such a huge fan of stain and paint.
