Bedroom Corners and Side Tables

We have enough space in our bedroom to have a chair. What a privilege. Seriously. Love it! I scoured craigslist and found the chair you will see. (It comes from a great older couple who live in Mass. They were so funny. Conversations, on top of conversations funny. Like, 40 years of being married to each other funny.)

I've piled as many frames as I can on the wall. I love laying in bed and staring at all of the pictures. There is a great picture of baby Jason in Twins gear. It makes my heart smile.

I realized that We needed a side table. Side tables are expensive, and silly. They are a couple scraps of wood, sitting, collecting dust, and there is no good reason for them to cost more than 5 bucks. Maybe I'm cheap. Okay, I'm cheap. I found a couple patterns to make my own, and I have most of the equipment (thanks Mom and Dad for the saw!), but I don't feel comfortable setting up shop in the middle of our apartment complex parking lot (I've read our lease agreement, and there isn't any statement that says I'm not allowed to use power tools in the parking lot, but I have a feeling it won't be allowed.)

Anyways, I've been to a couple of garage sales, goodwill, and a couple other consignment shops. Nothing. So I went to Savers today. A brand new store in Manchester! And that is where I found this side table for only 4.99. It's ugly. But I will paint it! But, what color?? That's where you get to help me!

This is the side table in its natural state. She actually doesn't look that bad. But trust me, she's no good in real life.

Bright blue? Also, I know that lamp needs a shade. It's a process.

Mint green?

Coral? Do you like my use of "hot" summer colors?

Yellow with grey stripes?

Orange. Not very pretty I know. But I recently saw a cute side table that was bright orange, and it had an orange slice painted on top. Cute.

Red?

The chair is grey/green. So maybe grey/blue/teal?

Or just plain old grey?

Grellow (green yellow) and grey? 

So, what do you think? I might just pick up whatever can of "oops" paint I can find and call it good, but maybe I will actually buy paint!
