Vintage Round End Table

This is a short, sweet little post about a table I finished a month or so ago. I forgot to take a before picture. The table is currently at my parents house, so I didn't "stage" my photos. Not one of my best project posts, but whatever. The table belonged to my grandfather. It had one of those "rails" around the table top. I took that off and filled in all the holes. Then it got a good coat of Rustoleum's Heirloom White and some slight distressing. I think it turned out pretty cute, but it's not one of my favorite projects.

I have finally started realizing that I've been neglecting my 101 things challenge. I scanned through the list a week or so ago and noticed that I could actually mark some things off!

I've got tons of posts lined up already, so it shouldn't take long to get back into the swing of things. OH and I'm starting out with a brand new makeover. So if you're reading this through a reader, pop on over and tell me what you think! I have been completely ecstatic over android picking up Instagram. I used IG for a while back when I had M's old Iphone, but for my birthday, I upgraded to an HTC phone. I am now completely obsessed with the picture taking. So to kick things back off, I'll just post my life (these past few weeks) in photos. Descriptions go left to right. Click...
