Aloha everyone,
December 1 is my son's birthday, but I wasn't able to get his card to him 'til a few days ago. I love it when he comes to visit with his children. When he came to visit Sunday I gave him his card. He's a firefighter, so I wanted to use the La-La Land stamp I got some time ago.
I don't think he reads my blog, so I don't think he'll see that. Heehee.
My sister-in-law has been cleaning and decluttering the "family" house for some time now. And she called me and asked if I wanted the cart/table that used to be my mother-in-laws table. No one else wanted it and I didn't want it to be a cast off. So I said yes, besides I've always loved that table. Well the brass parts needed sanding as it started pitting, I didn't particularly care for the wheels. The glass surface has some pretty art work, however it was a powder blue with white and gold which didn't match my bedroom. what I did to fix that was turn the glass over so only the white and gold could be seen. I then asked my husband if he could paint it and change the wheels. So it went from this:
To this:
I know I'll have my little nightlight, pencil box, photos and little clock on the top, but I'm not sure if I want to just put a plant on the bottom or something else. I absolutely love how my repurposed piece of furniture looks now with the new coat of paint to match the base of my floor lamp.
Aloha,

He's so cute! Just like my son... |
