We saw and heard many exciting signs of Spring - tiny buds on the trees and flowering crocus', then there was the noisy honking of Canadian Geese above our heads flying north.
As we approached the end of our walk - across the street from our house - another sign of Spring, people clearing out their basements and clutter that has gathered up over the winter months.
Poking out of the large pile of junk we happened to see just the piece of furniture missing in our living room. A coffee table. After a quick glace over, it seemed decent enough so I picked up one end and Nathaniel the other and we walked it across the street to our little home.
Will you paint it I asked?
Nathaniel said he would do, and also said he would find something to fill the space where there used to be glass.
How good God is to provide a coffee table for us that is exactly within our budget and the then skills to spruce it up a bit.

that's so nice-I can imagine just the spot for it and where I would set my hot tea and shortbread. . .I have some nice wooden chairs just passed down to me; they just need a seat redo!
you're right … it looks great! :) congrats!
it looks so cute!
our roommate katie is moving and that means all of our living room furniture is moving too..but crazy enough, someone is giving us a bunch of their old living room furniture-we get it tomorrow (not exactly sure what it looks like-but its freeeeeeee)
yes! I love piles of junk!
Ahh this looks like it will be a great table for Florence to pull up on in a few months.
and if you don't have it filled by then she can use it as a jungle gym...i know landis would for sure!
Well to follow up - the table is fantastic! brilliant what a coat (or two!) of paint will do. sorry Landis, you will not be able to use our coffee table as a jungle gym as we found some wood to fill the holes.
