. decor .

. i've keep thinking i need to get somewhere (garage sales, goodwill, auction) to find a table i can paint for this special spot in the studio . it has to be small and lightweight and most likely easy to paint .
. the studio [after] .
. so today, while running down to the print shop in riverside i noticed an old shop i've driven past tons of times, open...and with lots of old furniture . i swung in, introduced myself to jim and he welcomed me to the area and wished me luck (riverside has welcomed me with open arms! it's been great) and then sold me some cute little tables . these two are a set, lightweight and they will get painted...and 2 will look pretty cool and be easy to move . both for $10 . now to decide what to paint them ? i thought about a green of some short, a little darker than mint green ? purple ? or maybe keep it easy and go white ?
. $10 tables, i see paint in my future .

. they also had another one for $5 that was taller and round, i liked it a lot, but it was too tall for the space in the studio . but i got it anyway and look where it fits perfectly ! i love it, i was going to paint it, and may still but for now i don't mind the color . it's in good shape !
. new table in the livingroom .
. the top is like a counter top . i guess we won't need coasters on it .
. new table in the livingroom .
. with the dark couch, a dark table, dark floors and a dark armoire and table in the other end of the room i didn't really love the fact that the other table was dark either .
. new table in the livingroom .
. this table definitely fits the space better than the old square one did . remember what it looked like ? which table do you like better ? this is a personal preference thing, just curious . i've always been a matchy, matchy kinda girl and am getting bored with that, so i think that's why this off color, round table appeals more to me now, it's less expected .
. a little 'spruce up' after the holidays .
. are you matchy, matchy ? do you like being that way or is it kind of your ocd coming through in decorating ? tell me about your decor preference and why .

  1. I really can't tell where my ocd begins and ends... all I know it's constipating and calculating for me to be creative.... it's usually random ripped off ideas that I tweak to suit myself... so yes I tend to want to match things... unless I get hand me downs and then it might look like I'm all creative and random... ;)
    ps I really like your new facebook profile picture!

  2. I love the new round table. Round is much better in that area. And the light color is good too! I'm a very matchy matchy person but try not to be.
