i mean, check out the legs!
as it was only $40 and i saw some potential, i immediately snatched it up. it's a diamond in the rough, but i thought this was an absolute steal compared to some of the other moroccan side tables i've seen on the web:
moroccan key table at house eclectic, $329
moroccan table at garnet hill, currently sold out
aluminum moroccan side table at bliss living, $290
the question then becomes...what on earth do i do to it to jazz it up? i'm thinking paint, but i'm unsure of color - stick with a neutral like chocolate brown, or jazz it up with a muted apple green (which is a predominant color in my house). what about nailhead trim around the edges? and any recommendations on how i can find the 25th hour in the day to complete this project?!

I think where you end up putting it would be the deciding factor on it's color. I mean if it's next to a green apple chair, I would think you'd want to keep the wood to break up the color. Plus I kind of like the wood grain showing through and once you paint it, you lose that. Super cute though! I had no idea you liked flea markets - what else have you discovered there?
