Sidetable Gets Its Groove Back

This is a classic story of giving a good piece of furniture another life with a little bit of elbow grease.  Below you will find a traditional sidetable that has seen better days.  It has great bones, but has been loved a little too hard.  However, it has major potential.  All it needs is a bit of sanding, primer, paint, and poly.
Before:

Mid-procress: Half-Sanded
After:

The sidetable is back to its regal self.  I gave it two coats of primer, three coats of paint, and three very thin coats of poly.  It now has a wonderful home in our guest bedroom.  Perfection!
