Entry Table Makeover

Remember this post?  About the Craigslist table?

Yeah, I never actually got around to giving it a makeover, even after the fabulous Tobi Fairley offered her advice!

In our new house, it makes more sense for this to be in our entryway/foyer than it does behind our sofa.  And mark my words, this baby is going to be all gussied up within the next few weeks.  Here's what I have in mind for it:

I'm planning to paint the table 'Nocturnal Green' from Valspar.  The best way to describe is that it's an off-black, a.ka. green so dark that it's basically black.  It reminds me of a color you see a lot on shutter and front doors in historic areas of Charleston, Annapolis, Georgetown, etc.  Here's a bigger picture of the paint chip so you get a better idea:

I've wanted a place to put the darling dutch door press birds and blooms collection prints from our home states for ages and I think this is going to be perfect.  Especially if I can snag a vintage Federal mirror to go in between.

What do you think?

That's going to look great! Can't wait to see it when it's all done! Have you tried using Gimp? I downloaded it and haven't played around with it a lot, but it's kind of like Photoshop (and free!!).
