Yes, You Can Paint the Leather Vintage Tables

My customer brought me her vintage drop side leather top tables for a makeover. As you can see the leather was worn and crackled which made the tables look old and tired. Lord knows I know that feeling!
Here is a close up look at the condition of the leather. Luckily the cracks aren't as deep as they appear.
I'm so glad that my customer chose to leave the wood natural, I think it gives these tables a great look while maintaining their vintage charm.

    Fabulous! Painting greatly improved the look of these tables. Even brand new the leather would not have attracted me but having the black color instead and I would have bought these.
