Table "before," and haricut "after"

Goodmorning!  I took some pics of my table last night that I'm planning to refinish.  Here she is!

The honey-brown color of the wood is quite pretty, but it has some pretty deep scratches and nicks that wouldn't work well with a different varnish.  Also, see how it's 1/3 on my rug?  Yeah, that's beacuse one leg is about 1/2 and inch shorter than the other two!  Enter some shiv-wood and paint.  It's going to be ebony colored... and GORGEOUS! 

In other news, here's a pic of my new haircut (it's a self pic of me in my office at work that I took 5 minutes ago.  Don't judge!)

Also it's blurry.  And I'm breaking out.  I guess I'll chalk this one up to "keepin it real" in blogland.  I'm really enjoying the length and it's very versatile.  Here's a pic of it completely down (if you can see it past the GIANT puppy on my lap) at our mother's day party...

And yes, that's my adorable grandmother.  And a red solo cup.  Don't you wish you were at OUR mother's day celebration? ;)  I hope today finds you well, and stay tuned for the transformation of the pedestal table!  Happy Tuesday, friends.
