Mother Inlaw's Tables, Very Cool

My mother in law moved from one apartment to another several years ago. She gave my husband two end table and a coffee table. They are in great shape and an art deco style. I've found similar ones on Ebay, but never all three. But then again, I don't visit Ebay often. I tried painting them and failed miserably. I need a new direction for them. I'm willing to strip them, but would like them painted. Just not really sure. They are in a room that's tan, brown, and blue. It has a nautical theme. Suggestions please, all are welcome.

A Great Catalog Mail Order Company

I love ordering things from Country Door. I've gotten quilts, vases, pictures etc. I've been really pleased with the quality of merchandise, the look and the price. The catalog also gives me really good ideas for decorating. Please check them out. I think you'll like them. I found some Adirondack chairs in the current catalog and I'm going to paint our's similarly. (White, blue, yellow and red.)

Aren't they great. I'll share mine when they are done. Another weekend project.




Added these items to our bedroom and we just love them. Great colors and quality. ( I don't work for the company. LOL.) This is not our room. I'm still working on it...

Check them out I'm sure you will like the site. It's really informative. They have many styles and docorating tips for your home. Trudi

Metal Louver Closet Doors, Improved!

We have the very tall metal louver doors in our bedroom. I decided to try and paint them. First, I cleaned them very well. Then, I used 1,2,3 Zinsser Primer on them. I didn't worry about brush marks because I thought that would add character to the doors and it did. Then I painted them a crisp white. (Lowes Best). I also added wallpaper to the plain panels. I think they turned out really nice. We didn't have to buy new doors, nor did we have to add drywall. These doors are 8ft tall and they are not readily available at mass retailers. Before:

After pictures, now they have some character and texture. I'm quite pleased with them, they are no longer shinny.
