~chippy coffee table love~

Hello everyone!!

I found the c.u.t.e.s.t. little coffee table

last week......

thought I better show ya!

of course ~ there's nothing without a story, right??

well ~ I found this little cutie at a newer antique

store up the road from me (yay new store!)

fell in love....but thought ~ hmmmm maybe

a little too spendy...?  and then saw another

comparable (so I tried to convince myself of)

table HALF the price and thought ok...I'll get this

one instead.....

brought it home ~ had "nice neighbor man" cut

off the legs cuz Mr. T & T was out that night....

{that's right ~ I could not wait....}

{oh ~ explanation perhaps....BOTH were table height ~

not coffee table height}

so after nice neighbor man cut off the legs

I plopped in the living room & thought

good!  I like it! 

{but secretly thought uh-oh do I like it??}

{had talk with myself ~ of course you do...it's cute & fine...no reason

not to like it....}

after all Mr. T & T liked it, kids liked it,

friend or 2 liked it.....

{now I'm starting to think chair escapade all over again....}

but....uhhhh... I wasn't lovin it...nope not right...

gotta buy the other one...oh crap....

so took the first table up to a bedroom...

thought "looks great!"

and

back to the antique store I went.....

and shelled out some more cash for dearly

beloved....

and thennnnnnn......

showed Mr. T & T....

and we "discussed the legs would need to be shortened"

and thennnnnnn.....

I left to go grocery shopping (or some such a thing)

and thennnnnn....

 as I was pulling up to the house

I saw my dear husband proudly

finishing

up the leg cutting off task....

~gasp~

~cold sweat~

~heart palipatations~

Oh you all know what I'm talking about, right???

holy !#*%+$ 

he did it without me!!!!

how short did he cut them??

oh my...yikes...!!!

seriously, I was in a full on panic...

I mean ~ really~ WHAT are you thinking

exactly surprising me like that dear honey???

I, of course, tried to keep myself under control

while I carried it inside ~ all the while in full on

freak out mode...

while Mr. T & T stood there thinking

wow ~ she thinks I'm incompetent...

{of course not dearest!! it's just that these matters

have to be handled WITH me supervising & basically

totally controlling the situation....I mean what's so bad

about that??? ;) }

well......

he did it perfectly!!!!

~phew~

so what do you think??

you like??

I am seriously loving it <3
