One thing led to another and pretty soon we were in the middle of a full renovation!
I’ve been using it like that, with weird grease stains and stuff on it, for the last year.Also, when I took the before picture, I was actually just too lazy to move all the messy stuff out of the picture, but let’s say that I’m just not afraid to show you how my house really looks most of the time.
So it’s like this on purpose, k?.I promise you that I’m coming to the rescue of my poor ugly bedroom very very soon..The table was in pretty rough shape, but something about it just makes me happy.
I wanted to experiment with it a bit and see if I could make it a little bit better.If not, no big loss, really.. We (I) painted it with a couple of coats of Martha Stewart “Crevecoeur”.
It’s a nice greeny grey that reminds me of a rainy day, but in a good way.
You can see Kennedy’s not really that sick.I found the jackpot is what I found!
I’m pretty sure that, in this town, they’ve not yet clued into all the amazing stuff we’re finding in their stores because the prices were dirt cheap compared to what I’m used to in the city..The top of one of those brass clocks everyone used to have, used as a makeshift cloche here: $1.99.
Cake stand (oops, water spots!)and glass dome: $4 and $2.. Blue willow plates 69 cents each.. Blue and white bowls: 99 cents each.. Not too bad for one quick little trip.. Yeah, so maybe I’m not just like all the people in the thrift stores I see around here.
