A New Table and a New Tree!

We've been wanting something to fill the empty space under our picture in the living room. We thought either a sofa/entrance table, or a nice chair would be nice.
Well... last Monday Nate called me from the DI to ask if I thought he should buy a table he found. While we were on the phone he said there was another woman looking at the table while she was talking to someone on the phone... basically doing the same thing he was. I think that's what really helped him go for it. ;) So the 'before' pictures of the table are on his phone and we don't know how to get it off. But it had a brown top with matching wooden knobs, and the bottom was all black (cute, but not really our style). Saturday we went to every store in Logan to find the right color paint and some cute knobs and here is the finished product!!

It was a little scary to actually spray AQUA paint on it (Nate said he was worried it would look like we live in a Dora the Explorer house). We are really happy with how it turned out though... much thanks to this website www.allthingsthrifty.com for the idea!

We also found a little Honey Locust tree for 75% off, so we planted it in the front yard on Saturday (it's obviously the tiny one in the front of the picture). We have one in the back that we really love.
Oh summer, please never leave!!! We don't want to be stuck inside for 5 months!

  2. That is so cool! I love the color! I am sad I didn't catch you at Peach Days. I was thinking about you during the parade and last year's good laughs. :) I love Fall but I dread the 5 months that are coming soon too... Oh and I am so jealous of your Hawaii trip. Beautiful pictures! :)

  5. Wow~the table looks great! I love to spray paint things! We had those lovely gold door knobs and bathroom fixtures in our house and I spray painted them. Sounds crazy, but spray paint can do wonders. :)
