I bought these side tables from Crate and Barrel last year in a burst of impending house guest panic. I needed side tables for the guest room and didn't want to spend any money. These fit the bill: simple, inexpensive and unobtrusive. But after we moved, I realized that unobtrusive really meant boring. It's a good thing I kept them in the guest room since they inspire narcolepsy. I thought about ditching them on Craig's list, but hey, why not slap some paint on them and see if it makes a difference?
So here's the plan: Bright orange paint in the highest gloss available, then I'll put them in the dining room with a couple of Sansivera plants in industrial pots. If sucks, I'll sell them or put them up in the playroom.

| It was bound to happen. Gus is very good about putting the ball in the most convenient location, so it's virtually impossible NOT to throw it. |

Nice mustache.
Stay tuned for the final product. They are drying as we speak. |
