My House Is Now A Home!

My dream finally came true. I got the one piece of furniture that I always believed would make a house a home, and that is an entryway table. You heard me right. I believed with all my heart that is what would complete MY house. None of my family had that in their homes. But I watched a Halloween movie when I was younger and they had a small entryway table decorated for the holidays. I always wanted that, but bigger, for lots of pictures and it will help to have a place for holiday decorations. When we bought the house, I decided on the perfect spot and there it sits now. A sweet friend gave me the table because her in laws gave it to her and it was just sitting in their garage. So I took it home, stripped it, and painted it. It looks like a different table. It isn't professional quality, but it looks good and the only thing I had to do was pay for materials, which I had almost everything I needed from when I did the dresser. That beats the $300.00 it would have been new! That is why I Love gathering old furniture from family and friends and turning it into something we can use.

Here it is:

The mirror is going to be on the wall above it, along with some canvases with pictures of Sam and dandelions, thanks to Christina for taking some Beautiful ones. And each season we will do seasonal decorations. Now to finish the rest of the living room and the house will be complete!
