Another home project

I had an extremely hideous, beat-up wooden folding tray table which I keep meaning to get rid of, but don't because it's so handy and I can't seem to find a less ugly similar one. You can sort of see it here - it's the thing the flour is on. It had ugly streaky varnish and was stained and slightly warped.



In my pursuit of making my home awesome, I decided to try making the table I have nicer. I bought some chalk paint and got to work.





And here it is now in its new home:





The tray table was an experiment to see if I could do folk art style furniture painting with results that I liked. Now that the answer is yes, I think rather than buy a new kitchen table and chairs, I'll haunt garage sales until I find a set with a shape I like regardless of how beat up it is, and just clean and paint them.
