Storage auction kitchen table

We have all seen the new storage auction shows on TV...Well, my friends husband actually goes and does them. He was at an auction the other day. Unfortunately no one was bidding on the unit, so instead of the bidding going up, it went down and he got the unit for $25. He ended up with some silver, a brand new Coach handbag, and some other miscellaneous. There was a very big dining table in there that they didn't want...So guess who scavenged that baby up!! You've got it....ME!
It was somewhat dated, but the pedestal legs were so intricate and I knew they would distress well....A few coats of a creamy paint and some distressing led to this:
