Another House Project-{table}-

  Well, remember that pinkish-purple, pepto bismol colored table?  It is finally finished being re-made.  It is made anew!  And I have to say, that I think I like it very much.  :)
  I found this table in Canton when I went with my mother and sister... my brother was taking pictures for one of the booths there so we decided to make a shopping day of it.  The table was $15, the paint was technically free (I got it from my mother.  But she got it for 50 cents.), and the labor was free ;).  Not bad for a new table.
  I had been looking for a small table just like this one everywhere.  I looked at Home Goods, World Market, and on the world wide web, but had no success.  There aren't very many tall, little tables out there I found, and the ones that are out there are around $100.  So you can imagine how happy I was to find this bargain.

  Here is the pepto bismol pink! How glad I was to be rid of it.  haha... I'm not a fan of pink and especially not this shade of pink.
  The funniest part about it is, the other day Layton and I were in Target and I saw a table this exact color on clearance... I understood why it was on clearance right away.  ;)
  To those of you that might like this shade of pink... I do not mean to offend.  We all have our colors we like.  I just tend to be an orange, blue, red, green, yellow person.
  And I have found that those that like the color orange the best tend to not like pink at all.  They just aren't very good friends. :)




Here is the new color... I also am a fan of the distressed style.
I love the look and what all you can do with it.
The casual, rustic, and practical aspects of it also appeal.
  We use the table now in our living room.  It sits in the corner by our stairs with the key bowl on it.  It also has the picture frame Joe gave us for Christmas on it with photos he took at our family vacation last October.
  I think the thing I liked best about this table was that it was so versatile.  For now it will go in our living room, but I don't really like furniture that can only be used for one purpose (or at least for the most part).
  I like that this table could eventually go in a bathroom, entry way, kitchen, or nursery.  Since we do not know what our future house will look like, it is hard for me to buy furniture for specific spots right now.  Though I do look forward to those days when you know exactly what you want for a certain spot and you go hunting for it.  :)
  This is the other project I worked on today.  My sweet sister Stephanie found this tack board for $4!
  I have it in my kitchen right now with aprons hanging on it and recently it has collected coupons and other odd papers, but now it will be a wonderful picture board.

~Enjoy your Wednesday.  Only two days till the weekend!
