My new junk, I mean treasures...

Last week I shared some of my recent thrift store finds. You can go here to read about it.   I thought today I'd give you a little update.

Remember the brass and glass coffee table?

Here it is in it's new home ~

I'm pretty much in love with it! Even though it's a little larger than the trunk I had there previously the clear glass top really opens up the room and makes it feel much lighter.

Here's what I had before ~

I still really love the old trunk, and it functioned just fine, but it's fun to change things up every now and then.

This is how the new table will actually look for the next year or so ~

A baby on the move and sharp metal corners don't mix well. Oh, and that's Sebastian our Papillon, he wanted to be in the picture. See the new brass lamp off in the distance? (photo below) I added a chevron shade from Target (which could be a tad bigger) and love how it looks now.
 I ordered some new pillow covers from Etsy as well to freshen up the couch. They should be here any day - can't wait! I'll share that with you when they arrive.

On to the little brown lamp that landed in Isaac's room. Go here to see the entire room.  I picked up another shade from Target. The green trim works perfect with the rest of the room.

My plan was to paint the base and makeover the lampshade so it looked something like this~

This is where I could use your help... Once I put the lamp with the new shade in the room, I started second guessing whether I should even do anything to it at all. The brown base picks up the brown in the crib bedding, and I sorta like the crisp white shade the way it is.

So what do you think?  Is simple better, or should I go for it?  And if your vote is 'go for it', what are your opinions on base color?  White like the inspiration lamp, or do I go with a pop of color?  Such big decisions, I tell ya!

Happy Friday!

Tootles,
Sarah
