Waterfall Table

I have really fallen in love with the old forties era waterfall furniture. I've had my eye out for a vanity - if you find one, you know who to call, people! :-)
Anyway, imagine my delight when my go to man, aka hubs, came home with this pretty little side table. Some rotten child (hahaha, maybe I was one of those rotten kids at one time) stuck puffy foam square stickers on her! If I had a picture of me throwing my hands in the air and screaming "WHHYYYY?"  it would go right here in this space.

Perhaps I'm being a bit melodramatic. Seriously, though, I just couldn't seem to get them to go away. I tried Mineral Spirits, hand sanding, chiseling (I know a criminal act on wood), power sanding. Then I decided, people really loved the finish on the card catalog, so I'll paint it like that. I managed to get the squares of tape smooth, so you can't even tell they were there.

It's a good thing the shop opens up soon because I have furniture coming out of my ears. I don't even have a proper place to shoot my photos anymore.  So, I apologize for the "crowded" pics.

What a beautiful transformation! I love the color and the lines of it... I just picked up a dresser and mirror with a similar waterfall shape last weekend at a garage sale for 10$!! So excited, it is going to look amazing painted. You did a fabulous job:)
