It was a thrift find that may have once been a school science table---the old gum stuck underneath, as well as the holes from a pencil sharpener would indicate that that was it's previous life. I painted and distressed it to match my home decor but that was a few years back and my style has evolved since then.A couple of weeks ago I stopped to look at the mis-tints at the big orange box store. I fell in love with a quart of muddy gray paint that someone else did not care for. A few coats of paint and it looked like new.
Wanting to keep the story of the science table in tact I gave it a glaze, 
darkening it over the dings and scratches, to bring out the previous chapters of it's life.
Then to give it a little more interest and height I added some casters.
I am back in love with my table!

It fits so well behind your sofa, too, Joy! I love seeing transformations like this; taking something you've already got and just updating it. It looks great in its new color.
No wonder! It is a great shape and loving the new colour and the castors.
