End Tables

I mentioned that I also redid some end tables. I think these end tables are older than I am. My parents had them as long as I can remember and they gave them to us when they finally upgraded and we were using apple boxes for end tables.

Aren't they lovely? I know you could hardly tell that they are 30 years old. Well I HATED these tables and was embarrassed to have them but unable to go buy new ones. I figured I had nothing to loose when Kathy suggested that I paint them. So I went completely out of my comfort zone and painted them red.

Believe it or not these are both the same color. I am just that bad a photographer. In reality it is less pink then the one on the left and less bright then the one on the right. In any case the look better in person and better then the original.

I figured I was experienced in how colors look different in different lights but I would have NEVER guessed that they are the same end table the SAME color? That really is some trick photography Allison. I'm sure they turned out the perfect color but I have to admit my eybrow is arched and I'm a chuckling!!
