And a photo of the table since I painted it:
This was last week's project. Involved: running down to a locally-based, eco-friendly paint company for milk paint; disassembling the whole thing; countersinking the screw holes further; reassembling; gluing in wood plugs over the screws (because milk paint needs a porous surface); sawing off the plugs flush with the table; more sanding; taping/masking off the top; 2 coats of milk paint (Terra Santa red - not turquoise, Melanie!); and waxing the whole thing. Yeesh.

Love the colors on the table, nice job! Milk paint...hmmm...can't decide if I want to know. : ]
It's AWESOME Mon!!! I heartily approve of the color and I LOVE milk paint - that's what I used on that big green armoire that used to be in my living room at CV. My home project of the week was putting new pulls on the drawers in the kitchen (cool brushed nickel bin pulls with carving on them) because they looked so great with the new stainless steel range, range hood & dishwasher.
Simone: if you're going to be the next Debbie Travis, you're gonna have to learn about milk paint!
Raph: you don't know what Rose's last name is, do you?
Mel: You so rock.
Ouch.
It's not been revealed in print, but, Mr.-Viticulture-as-first-listed-interest, she's named after a dessert wine we would have at an Italian restaurant.
you know, Raf, we have a blog over at the RBS site, too...
Raph — no, that's not it . . .
