french end table inspiration

I found a pair of gorgeous French side tables this past weekend.  I have been looking for a pair for quite a while, so I snagged these babies right away when I saw them at Goodwill.

Check out the decorative leather top!

And the drawer pulls - love em'!!

See... aren't they gorgeous! :)

I'm leaning on painting them a pretty light blue/ teal color and then antique glazing them dark brown/ black.  But don't be surprised if I totally change my mind.  Here are some of my favorite inspiration pics...
