Jacobean Grey Side Tables

So, I found this side table at a garage sale for $1!



It was in pretty bad shape before I got ahold of it:


Nothing a little tlc couldn't fix though.

So I sanded the top and stained it in Jacobean Minwax stain. I painted the bottom in an "oops paint" called grey basalm.  Then, I lightly sanded the edges with 220 grit sand paper and wiped with the cloth that had jacobean stain on it.  I sealed it with a wax, and here it is.



I loved it! In fact, I love the color so much, I'm thinking of repainting my entry (again) in this Grey Basalm color.  What do you think?

Grey in the entry way would complement my office nicely... I like the red we have now, but I know you're tired of it :P
