Wow ya’ll.
I had absolutely no intention of taking a break for this long. I woke up about 5:30 am on December 28th, tiptoed downstairs and made my coffee. I should have known right away that I had a problem when my coffee did not taste right. Within minutes it was ON. I spent the next 5 days with the worst GI bug I have ever had, sick as a dog, fever and could not hold my head up. Poor Big Daddy had to take care of me around the clock while he was also praying to Sweet Jesus to not contract what I had.
That’s good man right there.
Then??? I had to go back to work :(((((
Onward………
I found a pair of these antique side tables on FB Marketplace a few days before Christmas. In all honesty ? The seller had me at those original Hepplewhite pulls.
The tops were a mess, plus I felt like if I tried to sand the top down I would probable chew up the little thin lip all the way around it. So, I went with paint.
This is Fusion Mineral paint in Pebble. It is a soft, very light gray and in my opinion a nice alternative to the whites. It is a very calm and sureen color and looks great with the color of out living room walls.
I have painted lots of side tables with these shelves underneath and never had a problem with them. I had to stop in the middle of these tables and run to Walmart to get a little foam roller . I could not get my hand/ arm/ brush all the way to the middle to finish them!
Well, where there’s a Walmart…….. there’s a way.
I love to curved front on these.
It took three coats of the Fusion Pebble plus the roller to get the coverage I wanted but it was definitely worth the effort. These tables are taller that I usually find. They will make nice bedsides for someone.
Hope ya’ll are having a good New Year!

Lovely as usual! Love your milk glass lamp!
Lynn thank you so much!
Oh wow, that sounds awful!!!!! I hope you are well. I feel sick just hearing about this. But then again I am a hypochondriac. I hope Big Daddy did not get it.
Oh Lord Nancy it was!!!! No thank God Big Daddy did get it. Bless his heart !
