Why did I wait so long?

I'm not sure why I waited so long to paint this. Seriously. WHY?

I picked this little thing up off of Craigslist for way more than I would normally pay for something, but it was in perfect shape and I really just wanted it. Bad.

Midway:

And here's the after! 

I painted (with a brush) Aegean Blue by Martha Stewart (btw, I love the sample jars. They are perfect for little projects like this) all over. Then, I put a layer of Martha Stewart Sea Glass over the top. 

Then, I sanded the edges. I love this piece, it's my favorite one...today.
