~IT'S IFFY..BUT IT'S DONE...~

A few garage sales ago..I bought this little table for $20. I really liked it as it was...and yes, I could have just covered that black spot with a scarf or doily (too deep to sand out) and let it go...but as you know (if you visit very often) I have also been on a "spray painting" kick!

I waffled back and forth..should I or shouldn't I, and had some yes and no's from you little Sweethearts out there, but in the end...I just did it. "Remember now, you can always change it" I said to myself...which is always how I sooth myself when I'm scared and insecure!

Here it is the way it was when I bought it. I love the legs..


...and here it is painted white.
Disregard the doily on the back of the chair..I was trying it on the top of the table...didn't work.

The living room, is a problem. It's a mix of furnature..which is fine..but it just seems if you are going to go white..you should paint EVERYTHING white...and I can't. So...we'll see.

Do you get the feeling that I have NO idea who I am when it comes decorating? I love the bright, cheerful French Country look...but I like Rebecca's soft pinks and whites and feminine look...so...who knows! Shabby Chic?

What the heck, should I paint the curio cabinet white...and the rocker. It was a gift from Patrick :( so..you know. How can I paint that white...and would I be sorry? And the coffee table. The only thing left in wood would be my piano. NOW that I CANNOT paint! But the other stuff. I mean, I could.... *trails off in confusion*

I (sort of) tie it together by keeping my roses with the deep rose reds to go with the reds of the kitchen and Great room...(didn't we used to call that the "family room?) What's the difference. I know full well my ignorance of terminology is going to show here...but I don't care. I really do want to know. Anyone? Anyone? (Fast Times At Ridgemont High) heheh...

Yes...I know this little table looks ...all out of place..but..I'll figure it out. Maybe. (what to do..what to do..) Maybe it's the heat??

In the meantime I'm turning on that blasted air conditioner again. It must be 90 degree's in here! It is supposed to hit a 100 by weeks end. I can't sleep when it's so hot! My poor hanging flower baskets are pathetic looking...JUST PATHETIC..
(whine, whine...)

So..ok..what do you think of the table? I would say "be nice" but you always are.

I love you guys! I really do.. :) *love all shining from my eyes*
