Yellow Side Table Before And After

This little side table has been on my to-do list FOREVER.    I bought it eons ago at a vintage shop and it starred in Miss Pippy's nursery as a dark-stained, slightly worn sturdy little table. 

Enter little boy.  Mid pregnancy I decided to jazz it up to a cheery yellow, but was never thrilled with the color.  Baby bottle rings wreaked havoc on the paint, giving more reason to rehab.  After a light sanding (love you Billy Webb!), a touch of primer (love you Billy Webb!), two coats of in-your-face-yellow and a topping of polyurethane - I completed the makeover last week.  
I LOVE the new look!
