I
left you last post with my nicely polished TV table sitting in the
hallway. Moments after polishing it, I dragged the old heavy dark
wooden drawers into the spare room our of my way - and sight for now
- and placed the modern brighter wooden TV table in situ.
Here
are my before and after shots, so you can compare the phone tables and
see if you also prefer the more modern version of my lower hallway. I
certainly prefer the decor to the way dad had it, though I admit I do
not use a TV so did not need the TV table for other necessities as
he did.
If
you have been reading my blog for a while, you will know that as well
as several major shifts, sales, and changes, I like to fiddle about
with things. The phone table was no exception. Just like my 3-4 time
a year pantry-tidy delight and the hall windowsill fiddling, the
phone table went through a series of mild morphings to arrive at its
perfection. I have spared you every rearrangement and will just show
you a former and the final design.

from above looking down...
Nice
and neat - the shelving hides our daily diary, phone books, address
books, pile of pens, and note pads. I like the way the mirror and
table are both of a similar octagonal shape and much prefer the
lower lighter table to the tall dark one.
This
task left a mess in the spare room, although I managed to fit stuff
in so it looks more roomy already. You can see that dreadful 40+ year
old carpet - cringe.
