Re-Design

Over the past few months I have accumulated several really interesting pieces of furniture and chotchkes (sp?), that I had yet to incorporate into my home. So finally after a great shopping trip to Dallas and Canton, I forced myself to find a place for everything. This of course snowballed into a little re-design of my dining room and living room. (See previous post "My Apartment" for before pics).

I bought this bamboo looking table at the St. Vincent DePaul store in Dallas for $5.00!!!
It was originally a bright shiny ugly gold. I painted it silver using Rustoleum Aluminum, and then took it to a glass place to have a mirror fitted for the top.

New pink and orange chinese toile accents pillow, purchased for 1/2 off at world market.

I then decided to paint this table silver as well. It was really beat up and I think the silver camouflages some of the imperfections. I then added my new head, bought at Canton from the "Funky Junk" ladies, who were having a 1/2 off sale.

I had bought this shelf at Round Top in the spring, and painted it this turquoise color to give a little pop of color to the room, and fill up the odd corner space. The paint color is Mediterranean by Valspar.

The Dining Room.

I found this awesome mirror at TJ Maxx, there was only wall it would fit on so I had to rearrange my dining room just a little.

Blue/Gray panels $5 each at K-Mart. Please don't judge! I know they are wrinkled, I keep telling myself to dig out my steamer.....Someday.
I added my Round Top tables (still have a ways to go on their rehabilitation) to either side of the window, and place of few of my treasures on top to hide the imperfections.

Now I just need to work on my bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, and patio..........
