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

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.
