 <\/p>\n

Winter was long and Spring has made itself very discreet so far, so when we finally got some warm rays saturday afternoon, I took out my paintbrush and made over a vintage Tulip base table I bought last year in a flea market.<\/p>\n

We bought our house in winter so I had never met my urban backyard. I have to admit I was disappointed when I realized that what I hoped to be soft grass was in fact, cement tiles. That being said, the backyard is private, clean and easily accessible from the kitchen.<\/p>\n

So back to my vintage table then. It was really rusted at the base and so I decided to sand it and paint it black using Tremclad rust proof paint. I left the top white and bought a large plastic table cloth to cover it at night to protect it.<\/p>\n

I think I was a little overly eager to eat outside Saturday night as, as soon as the sun went down, the temperature dropped and came out the wool throws.<\/p>\n

Please excuse the slightly wrinkled striped table cloth as it has been packed away in boxes for the better part of last year. This contraption made from 2 trestles and a large piece of plank is what I’ll call temporary as we plan to make a more permanent structure to sit beside the BBQ. But in the meantime, it was a lovely complement to our alfresco dinner and it was perfect to place all the things that we had no room fo on the table.<\/p>\n
