The gray looks like it's leaning more to the gray-green end of the spectrum in your photos -- is that how you'd describe it in person? Or is it more of a blue-gray? Or a true, straight-up gray?Steph | glitter and goat cheesehttp://www.glitterandgoatcheese.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009168790894665633.post-69704811264310609192011-09-13T13:08:32.767-04:002011-09-13T13:08:32.767-04:00That table looks like it's smiling!

I love the finish but I definitely should have used a top coat for a kitchen table. After a couple of months of using it for 3 meals a day it definitely has a few dings and scratches (on top only). I guess it will be easy enough to give it another coat of paint and a top coat! I think the paint would hold up just fine on an end table without a top coat.<br /><br />When I was shopping for paint at HD the guy in the paint section told me they can't sell oil based paint in the state of MD and told me to use latex (which I thought was a terrible idea for a kitchen table). Then I found the rustoleum on the shelf- it says "oil based" right on the can so I don't understand why it's legal to sell in MD? But I'm glad!Pam @ bibbidi-bobbidi-beautifulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665004943835477442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009168790894665633.post-59367295584090720942011-09-06T09:40:49.892-04:002011-09-06T09:40:49.892-04:00Holy Dinah...I am so happy to read this and am tot...Holy Dinah...I am so happy to read this and am totally going to buy up some of that enamel- I'm always trying to get a good glossy finish and your table looks amazing!!!
