DIYeah!

I'm making good on some of my DIYeah promises.
This one isn't huge, but it still has made quite a difference for making my home more happy.
A little old cafe table crying out for help. It's jz's from apartments past, and although its scale is perfect for our terrace balcony, it's been looking a little beat up.

I sanded, wiped down, primed, spray painted, and viola! Ready for enjoyment for the last dog days of summer.

This process was actually really enjoyable. I think it would have been more so, if I didn't live in an apartment building that is reminiscent of Melrose Place (see pool courtyard in background). I tried to do this during work hours, when I had less of a chance of people staring out their windows, wondering who the crazy spray paint girl is (I did like 3 coats...)
