Home Projects - shades + table

Two more little home fix-ups to share :) We have these beautiful light fixtures in our home...I adore them. They are quite bright at night though and a bit harsh, so I needed to do a little editing. I wanted things to be warmer...

Before...

After:

I think it made a subtle but really nice difference. Glowy glow.

Theeeeennnn, kitchen table situation. So not bueno. Our kitchen is beautiful but was not very functional. We had tried to squeeze a table in the center but walking around it was a pain, and fortunately there ended up being just enough space on the side to fit one in. It was a hand-me-down from my mother-in-law {she has so many goodies...I'm a lucky chick}, but it was worn, old, and the wrong color of brown. Nothing a quick coat of paint can't fix! This was started at 9pm which means past my bedtime and I was sleepy, so it was a lightning fast paint job that went like this...

Before:

To sand or not to sand? Hmmm... 9:02. Need beauty sleep. Not to sand.

Who needs a paint tray? Not me. Pouring paint on table could save time and tray cleaning...Yes. Good decision.

9:20...commence second coat at 9:24...paint dries in 4 minutes yes?

Dutch was a big help, but he got a bit close and actually looks quite lovely with spots of speckled blue fur. And my table looks nice and exotic with white fur scattered in it. It was a win-win really.

After:

Blue table picks up the pretty blue tones in the rug. Me likes!

Really pleased with how it turned out, especially because I did it with my eyes half shut. I want to eventually get fabric to cover it, but for now, this will do.

Love to you all... Happy weekend! Oh shoot it's not the weekend yet. Well I am going to pretend it is. xoxo
