Three things I purchased over the weekend...

I bought a pair of these lamps for $15.00 a piece. They originally had wood grain vinyl decals in the grooves of the swirls, which I removed with the aid of a hair dryer. I now need to clean off the sticky residue and find a shade that will do them justice.

I also found this $10.00 end table, which was a thrill, because I have been looking for a while for a piece similar to this for just the right price. I am now off to begin the refinishing process. It will be painted a nice shiny black and then placed in my more formal living area. I will share photos when it's complete. Hopefully today!
