Back in the summer, Brad bought a lamp for his room. I don’t know if you remember, but I repainted his room gray and tried to streamline the room a bit. For end tables, I just plonked down some outdoor folding tables and put a little LED lamp on it for reading. Very ‘college student chic’.
Well, Brad’s lamp – which you will see in a bit – required something far more sturdy that that weenie table. Lloyd and I have been looking for something for a fair bit, but we had some requirements. It should be rectangular, and preferably with a shelf for tissues and cell phones and the like. I saw something in a thrift store a couple of weeks ago, but it didn’t speak to Lloyd.
I was looking at Facebook this weekend, and a guy in Lincoln was selling a mid-century modern table for $35. I showed it to Lloyd and he was game to get it. I was the first of 8 people in line for this table, and no wonder. Here’s what its twin is going for on a website: $245
Ours is not as red, and has cat troubles.
Once in its proper place and de-catted, it holds the lamp beautifully!
There’s a story behind that lamp, but that’s for another day. Happy Wednesday, everyone!
