I checked one major "want" item off my long long list. I have been wanting to replace this Ikea table in my living room for a long long time. Here is the before (sorry for the bad cell phone pics):
The surface is a bit too small, it's sort of lop-sided and I was just plain bored with it. Wanna see the new one from the flea market??
I loove that it has a little shelf for the magazines. Not a super fan of the bottom triangular shelf, but hey - it's close enough to my dream table to work. The best part you ask??! It was already painted cream and distressed. I'll take it! I have not been in the furniture painting mood lately so this is a major plus! Here's a side by side comparison for you...
In other news, this evening I am attending a pre-holiday soiree for some friends of mine that have a stationary business. They are debuting all of their new holiday cards, stationary, and wedding invitations and decided to throw a par-tay. AND - they invited little ol' me to do a diy craft with their fabulous guests. We will be making pom pom mistletoe and pom pom snowballs :) FUN! I am pre-making all the tags so all they have to do is make a pom pom (while sipping cocktails) and I'll take care of the rest :)
It should be a FUN night :)
I hope you all have a wonderful rest of the week! Talk soon!

I adore that cute table, perfect for that spot!!
ReplyDeleteThat table was a great find, Ali! Three shelves on one table? Awesome! :) Have fun at the party!
ReplyDeleteI think both tables are cute, but that is probably because I'm not bored with yours, only bored with mine!

Love the new table, yay for extra shelves and not painting! And that mistletoe pom pom is too cute!
ReplyDeleteI like both tables, but another shelf is usually a good thing! That's the beauty of flea market finds - you can change them out whenever you find something better :)
ReplyDeleteI love it! I think the new one anchors there better, though the old one is so cute! And who can't use the extra shelf space...
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun find and I hope you have a fun nite out!!!
