The 1980s Called...Updating an Outdated Console Table

I recently found this sweet console table and immediately fell in love with it's curves and carvings, though the 1980s finish needed some updating to make her even more beautiful.
 

Since I'm following a bit of a coastal theme for our booth at The Vintage Home Market next weekend, I chose a really pretty soft, almost sea-foamy green.  I used Liberty from American Paint Company for the base, and accented it with and mix of Uncle Sam and Navajo White.
 
 
I'm not going to lie...it has taken me a little bit of time to get used to using this paint, but I have grown to love it! It is a really thick paint, but the more I use it, the better I get.  It sands like a dream and their wax is the best I have ever used.
 
 
Look at that detail!
 
 
I really like that this has shelves and especially love the mesh door!
 

I adore her!
 
 
Perfect for a bedside table or even in the bathroom holding towels.
 
 
She'll be available next weekend at The Vintage Home Market in Richmond, Virginia!  More previews to come this week!
