Retro Table : )

This past Saturday we were actually up early enough to hit some garage sales, and by early I mean we were out the door just before 10 am. I LOVE garage sales!! I've found some pretty cute things over the years. And I love the surprise of what I'll find, because you never know. We only stopped at a handful but boy did I find some good stuff. I'll have to share my cutie vintage Pyrex pieces I got in another post.

This psot is all about my metal retro table I scored for $5! As soon as I saw her (yes she is a girl) I knew she was coming home with me. Although I had no idea where she'd actually live at my house. You see, I'm one of those people who will pass on something if I can't think of where it will go. I HATE clutter and am the exact opposite of a hoarder. I am constantly purging stuff out of my house. Sure there's been a couple times I've thought, why did I get rid of that, but overall I love the feeling of no clutter. Ahhh....

Here she is all dirty and needing a fresh coat of paint. 

Cute, huh?  : )

$5 people!! Check out the top. LOVE!!

Nice magazine holder at the bottom. Well at least that's what I thought I'd use it for. 

I took the palm sander to her. She had some spots that had a bit of rust. Then I washed her off really well and started spray painting. This was my first time using the infamous Rustoleum Heirloom White. Yes, I was a Heirloom virgin.  : )  I loved how it turned out. I'd used a cream color by Krylon before, but it was a little too yellow for my liking. The Heirloom White is just right. 

Wow! 

Once she was dry I brought her into the house and started trying to figure out where she should go. It turned out she was too small to go in the living room so I tried her in my room. I took out my old night table and moved her in. Oh she looks soo cute in there and goes fabulous with my bedding. I LOVE my bedding by the way!! Can you believe I got it from Avon? Yes ladies, Avon! I know. You can see a better pic of it here. 

What do you think? Cute, right? Of course by the time I got around to taking pics the morning sun was gone. When will I learn? These pictures are terrible. Sorry! I'm gonna be taking some new pics, really.

So just the other day I was on Pinterest  and came across a pic of some Pottery Barn lamps that look just like mine! Only they're A LOT pricier. I'll be doing a little post about that once I get some new shades.

Look at the top. Isn't it lovely? And there's my nightly moisturizing basket. It's very dry here so I lotion up my hands and use lip balm before I go to bed. Just a little personal info for ya.  : )  Now I'm on the hunt for a complimentary side table for Mr. CC. I did fine a round brass bamboo one with a marble top on Kijiji. I'm waiting to hear back from the lady if she'll take what I offered. She's asking $35 and I think that's a bit much. I know, I'm a cheap skate. heehee  If I do get it I'll be spraying it with the heirloom too and sharing it with you. 

You all have a great day! I'm on holidays all week, so I'm off to enjoy the outdoors and my cozy sunroom.  : )
