I love the little jars and I really like that final cross hatch thingy-no matter WHAT you do with it -it is wonderful.<br /><br />I remember when those Ethan Allen end tables were all the rage...and now someone has discarded it like a bad habit...I think it will be lovely all primed and painted -or restained. It's a great piece! <br /><br />Can't wait to see what you do with all your stuff.
