New items and some moving around

We have not had a coffee table in our living room for a few years now and it has been driving me crazy. I was looking around kijiji (similar to craigslist) and I found a coffee table and two side tables for $100. I was sold - especially since they looked like teak (not said in the listing) and they had a vintage/retro vibe to them. I did not pay any attention to the dimensions of them and sent Pablo out one night to pick them up. They were alot bigger than I thought they would be but I don't care. The coffee table covers alot of the cream rug which is a bit too bright but I don't want to spend the money on another rug right now. So here is what the tables look like in the living room:







Pablo and I also decided that we needed new bedside lamps. The ones we bought recently just had too wide of a span and Pablo was constantly knocking his off the bedside table. They got moved to the living room (in photos above). We decided to get 2 FORSA lamps from Ikea and they work so much better next to our bed:


I moved our old end table that was next to the couch in the living room into Isabella's room next to her bed for now:

  1. I like them a lot, they look oriental-ish, I know, that's not a word.

    Have I mentioned before - that green is the same colour as our living room walls?

    How are the foot and the testicle going?

    PS. I love the tables and I don't think they look too big at all.

  6. Glad you all approve!!!

    Collette - if you lived near me I sure would but at least I can help you pick out colours and stuff!

    Letitia - O M G! You are really freaking me out! I am STUNNED. And if you actually tell me that your green is BM's Oregano then I might just pass out. Foot is healing nicely. He hasn't worn the stupidly expensive cast in a couple weeks now. No testicle news so we're assuming it isn't bad news (cancer).

    The tables don't look so big in these pics(good job me!) but they are a little oversized. One day when we move into our mansion (yeah right) they'll fit better.
