Ok.... so my post has nothing to do with a polar bear's toenails. I was just jamming to some Outkast and since about 80% of my post titles seem to have something to do with rap songs, I thought I'd throw it out there. But I do feel kind of cool today because I'm guest posting for Danielle over at her blog!!
Go check out my thoughts on my favorite fabrics in her Textiles Thursday series!

On another note, look what I found on Craigslist....
NESTING TABLES!!!!!!
I've been wanting them for our living room for-eva, eva (sorry, Outkast still on). I was sooooo excited that I even forgot to haggle the seller down from her $25 offer. Oh well, it's $25. For two adorable wood tables.
Suhweet.
They're kind of silvery at the moment, so I need to paint. Whatcha think- white?
Guess who gets to live on the little nesting tables once they're complete? Nana's lamp!
Cuuuuute, right?
Now I've got to get my butt in gear, pick a color and paint!

Great find!! I can see them white, maybe with a pattern inset on the top (Chevron maybe?).
ReplyDeleteLove the tables. The lamp looks great there. Can't wait to see what color you paint them.
ReplyDeleteI think white will look fabulous for those tables. Can't wait to see what you do with them!! :)
ReplyDeletethe lamp will look great with those tables!! way to go!!
ReplyDeleteGirl, you make me laugh with all your rap songs. Glad I am not the only one jamming to rap all the time! Great find in the Nesting Tables! I can never find anything on Craigslist, I am so jealous of everyone's finds! Going to go check out your guest post now!
ReplyDeletehow much does a polar bear weigh?
ReplyDeletei don't know but it's enough to break the ice.
:)
i like the idea of white, but i also would love to see them in a glossy bold color like yellow or green or that dark blue you do so well... or summery dark coral! i am painting a table that color right now for a client and loving it!
love the rap! too funny. Love the tables too! I think distressed white.
ReplyDeleteHey Michelle :) I saw you today on Danielle Oakey Interiors and love your abode! I am your newest follower! Love the new nesting tables... Maybe paint the tables gold metallic? Just a thought :)

So glad to have you today :)
ReplyDeleteWhere are they? your living room?
What a great deal! The lamp will look awesome there!
ReplyDeleteDanielle- in that picture, they're against a wall in my breakfast room. But the tables will eventually go along the plantation blind window wall in my living room (in between the slipper chairs).
ReplyDeleteGah, I never find stuff on Craigslist .. Maybe I'm not patient enough?! Can't wait to see what you do with those cuties!
ReplyDeleteOh and now I have that Outkast song in my head! haha!
Lauren @ tickled.
You are so funny! I'm totally gonna jam out to some Outkast this morning now ...
ReplyDeleteI actually think the tables look lovely in their current state (at least in the photo). Otherwise, I say just stick with your style -- It's wonderful, and it works! Please, please, pretty please don't destroy these pieces with chevron striping or another overdone pattern (like Greek key). I really enjoy those uber-trendy patterns, too, but I think they're best left to accessories or other items that are easily changed out ... Just my two cents, of course! I'm sure whatever you come up with will be fabulous!
I think these pieces could handle some color. And they are technically an accent piece which would still be following your rules, neutral slate with accent color.
ReplyDeleteI always lean towards blue, since I think every room should have some blue in it.
Just found your blog through Danielle! Your newest follower
ReplyDeleteluuuve nesting tables! I vote white or a silvery blue :)
ReplyDeletegreat find!
great find -- i think those skinny legs are hollering out for color...peacock blue, tomato, PINK!!! (um, those are the paint swatches going around my house right now)
ReplyDeleteLove the tables!! They are gonna look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteSUCH a great find! They're going to be amazing!
ReplyDeleteLooove those tables!! I LOVE a good score on craigslist! :) Can't wait to see what you end up doing with them!
ReplyDeleteAdorable and calling for color. Ok . . so this is how sleep deprived I am {after being up with my 2 year old} I thought you had that photo wrapped on canvas and it was sitting on the table!!! hehe
ReplyDeleteThose are amazing!! Great find! Can't wait to see the finished project!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! I can't wait to see what it looks like when it's finished. It's darling! And great post at Danielle's friend (:
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! I can't wait to see what it looks like when it's finished. It's darling! And great post at Danielle's friend (:
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! I am a white girl but it depends on where they are going... what about a soft grey?? I enjoyed your post over at Danielle's today too!
ReplyDeleteI kind of like them silvery! I think they would also look sharp as black!
ReplyDeleteGreat find! Can't wait to see how they turn out with a new coat of paint on them!
ReplyDeleteawesome find! Where are they going? I like them silvery, but I think my final judgement will depend on where they are going in the house :)
