Before and After: Two-Tier End Table

I picked up this end table when I was at Salvation Army Thrift Store a few weeks ago. It has such great bones that I couldn't pass on without making it mine for $16: solid wood, steady construction and almost no nicks or dents. The only complaint is this yellowish brown puke stain.
 After one coat of primer, it's already looking better.
 After a couple of coats of Krylon Spray Paint in Pewter Grey, this is what it looks like now. It turned out blue-r than I prefer, but it also casts different shades of grey under different lighting.

And this is the end table now in our master bedroom. It has tons of space for books, and my only wish is not to relive college days when I reached for the table by pushing through piles and piles of books.
Have a great long weekend everyone! And remember to enter your names for the $200 ottoman tray draw.
