Side Table, You’re Next!

The weekend is here…which means project time! One of my side tables was questionable for staying in the Living Room. I showed you some new options I was considering in this post.

But then decided to do a table switch-a-roo, and replaced the original side table (too tall, too chunky) with the one in our Guest Bedroom (just right). I would have preferred a round table, but it’s hard to argue with free!

For the observant crowd, I also swapped the barrel chair and wingback. (See the new space for the barrel chair here.) I prefer the thin lines of this table, especially paired with all the chunky furniture in the room (I’m looking at you armoire and bookcases).

The mirror top visually lightens the table, and the reflective surface adds the glam touch I want for this room.

But it’s still not quite right, so these photos will serve as the inspiration for this weekend’s project.

Any guesses? What are you up to this weekend? Have fun, lovebugs!

  16. Looking forward to seeing how the room turns out. I'm not planning to much for the weekend except maybe trying to catch up on flower beds and staying at home. We have to many wildfires going on around us right now to venture to far away from home. Have a great weekend!!
