Plan B

PLAN A:
*Take eight dollar thrift store table
out of storage.

*Sand off ugly gold paint to
reveal original mahogany finish
(this should be easy since the previous owner
didn't properly prep table before spray painting)
.
*Leave just enough gold paint patches
to give the table an "old world" finish.

*Pair table with old mirror.PROBLEM:
*Removal of gold paint reveals
several scratches on tabletop
(likely a reason the previous owner painted it).


PLAN B:
*Sand tabletop to remove scratches.
*Tape off mirror and molding.
*Lightly sand mirror frame.

*Break out the, ever dependable, black spray paint.When doing makeovers,
it's good to have a Plan B.
