Table

My sunroom is also our libary/reading and relaxing room. No toys are to be taken into the room, puzzles and quiet boardgames are encouraged. So lately whenever I go to relax in the sunroom I can't because of this table. The rest of the sunroom is nearly finished and all matches and then there is this table. I love the table but the brown paint and peeling paint is getting to me. (as well as the 2 piles of books that need a home). So I have decided to do it up this week. The hutch will just have to wait. And as for the books I am going to go and get another matching bookcase.

I picked this table up last year it is quite old and my father (who is a furnature maker) said it is hand made.

I am not sure which way to go with it, should I strip it and then varnish it or should I paint it again. Either way I have to strip the paint off. (Yuck yuck I have stripping and sanding.) I would love some feedback from you talanted ladies. Also with the carving should I do something to make it stand out???? This is such a cute and usefull table. Here are a few photos of it. Sorry about the one on its side I uploaded them straight from my camera. I will fix it up later. Till then tilt your head :)
