Hola Friends!
Happy Sunday. Hope you all are having a good weekend. Mine has been great! Yesterday I did my usual Saturday morning treasure hunting at my fav thrift store and as usual it did not disappoint. I scored a great new coffee table and I’m excited to share it with you.
I’m sure you all have seen the popularity of bamboo furniture all over the blogosphere. I’ve recently become fascinated with the asian influenced furnishings. Here are some of my favs:
I was pretty excited when I came across a bamboo inspired coffee and end table set while at the thrift store yesterday. I say bamboo inspired because its not quite an exact replica. Anywho, the set was priced at $100. Way too steep for my tastes especially considering the fact that I only wanted the coffee table and that would end up altered. The salesperson happily agreed to break up the set and offered me the coffee table for $30! Sold!
Naomi had been wanting to replace the trunk with an actual coffee table for a while now so I knew she would be happy to see the change. Here it is before:
During a couple coats of Krylon’s Ivy Leaf:
In its new home:
I love the color and I love table in the space. Its much bigger than the trunk was as you can see by the indent in the carpet underneath! The scale is just perfect in the space now. Not bad for a $37 investment.
I love all the changes happening around here lately. Now that we’ve finally decided on a wall color for the kitchen/family room there are gonna be even more changes coming really soon. So tell me, do you bamboo? Until next time….
