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,
