I've Got Two Turntables and a Microphone...

Once upon a time, I loved colours...actually I still love colours. But once upon a time I loved colours on my furniture! Bright ones! Lots of them! Lookin' like one of them change-colour disco floors. Well, as all of you know, James and I are now college graduates so my disco tables would just not do for our new sophisticated lifestyle. No. We needed more subdued colours...like gold and silver...which still may be in disco floor patterns... So the moral of the story is: we've gone from '65 to '75. And we all remember just how much more sophisticated and posh '75 was. Alright! Here we go...

Before:

These little twinsies were found on the side of the road...bad, bad water stains

The disco floor table itself.

Pssshhh so '65.




Drum roll please....


AFTER!:

Gold/silver makeover!
Silver paint over gold. I love this.

What does square equals square mean you ask?...
...it means it was inspired by our new TV table (from Craigslist)


LOVE this one.

Golden beauty.
So there they are! The new tables for the new apartment near our new jobs!

Also, the Brandons gave us their awesome couch whose cushions had a little run in with the dryer...so I refinished said cushions (sorry, no before picture):

So...what do you think?! Are the squares on the long table weird? I haven't decided... I love feedback. Thanks!!

  1. WAY CUTE!! How long did it take you to do it all? I would like to see a nice big picture of the couch. And a nice big picture of your new apartment with all your old/new stuff in it!
