Wobble Wobble Shake It Shake It

This little baby was a wobbling mess when my friend Morgan first introduced us.  This thing wobbles more than my booty on the dance floor (or my booty on any floor).  So I named the table “Wobble” and referred to it as that all day. 


Wobble was just a plain ole wooden table that Morgan adopted from a friend.  We tighten the screws to make it more stable, and sprayed it with waaaaaaaaaaaaay too many coats of spray paint.  We’re talking spray paint dripping off Wobble onto the pavement.  Oops.  No worries, because the plan never had the word ‘perfect’ in it.  After allowing the majority of paint to dry we took sand paper and went to work removing the paint all over the surface of the table.  We really were going for the distressed look and focused on removing the paint the most on the edges and highlighting the details of the table. 
 
 

   This Wobble gave Morgan extra storage in her bathroom and is a cute excuse for her to go buy another candle! :)

Mirror Mirror

Several years ago I used to work at a bargain center that was similar to a goodwill situation.  It was a dream come true because I was the first to see the amazing things that people no longer wanted lying around their homes, and got it all, at an extremely discounted price.  One of my favorite pieces that I have acquired is this mirror.


When I bought it 6 years ago I think the color was gold.  Since then it has been painted white, black, and now gray.


Well- it’s time for another color change!  I have to admit that I am pretty fickle when it comes to color choices, and repainting this mirror is a lot easier than re painting my entire living room (which is coming soon).
So this is what the mirror and mantel looked like before:
And this is what it looks like now:






I’m loving the satin Aubergine color so much I spray painted the tray on my coffee table.

Halfway to the weekend folks!
