Painted Beauties



They're painted! Over the weekend, I slapped some navy blue paint on my little Craigslist nesting tables finds. And now, the tables have a proud new home in my living room, holding Nana's lamp. 



BEFORE



AFTER


Here's one more big picture shot without the bright lamp on.
(note: that means David got the 50+ year old electrical wiring in the lamp to work, woo-hoo!)


Here's one more daylight shot!




Happy Tuesday, friends!!

**Um, PS. It's Wednesday. But I thought I'd leave up what I originally wrote at 6:15 this morning, because it's kind of funny. My brain is fried. Halfway through the week, yessss.

    The navy blue looks great on those tables and I love the way they look between the chairs and contrasted up against the yellow rug!

    It's amazing how a coat of paint can transform anything. The tables and your seating area decor look great together.

    I also love your yellow rug! Can you tell me where you got it?
