Little Side Table

I really enjoy trying to make something unique or on-request by look and feel alone.  I have done it several times with some pretty good success.  I was browsing Etsy.com and ran across this table at Kamp Studio.  You can see the original at www.etsy.com/people/kampstudio .  Before I began I got permission to copy the table from Kamp Studio.

Is it just me or do any of you folks have those projects that haunt you... plague ridden with problems from the start? This was one of those projects for me, but luckily it was only because we were in the middle of a move and I didn't have the proper tools I truly needed to complete this project with ease. ...

Isn't he gorgeous? I just adore his quirky retro vibe and his colors... I feel like he needs a name, but haven't decided what that should be! 

I found him during my recent adventure at Denio's and fell instantly in love. In fact he was one of the first things I brought to the new house! Yep, did I mention we moved? Ya, that happened. I can't wait to show you around the new place, but for now I shall tease you a bit and show you my new boyfriend above and a very limited sneak peak at of the place we now call home!... Read More
