Freebie End Tables For My Master Bedroom

Got a text from my friend Debra one day.  "neighbor just put 2 end tables on curb.  Want me 2 pick  up 4 u?"  Oh yes, yes, yes!!!!  She dropped them off and I was excited, but it didn't hit me right away that these were exacta-mondo what I needed in my bedroom makeover.  Yessirreee, BOB.  
The bedroom is so big that my aqua dresser in the corner was so far away from all the white on the bed that some aqua color really needed to be hanging out over on the East side.  
I like having matching tables on either side.  Even though I'm not sure if my tall lamp throws off the symmetry too much.  I never claimed to be an interior designer, folks.  Oh, and if you wanna know, I mixed up the paint color myself so don't ask what it is and I added some plaster of paris to make my own chalk paint.  My poly-crazed mom gave it about two coats of the stuff so it wouldn't scratch.  Perfecto.

And yes, there is a little sneak peek at the painted curtains.  Some things have gone WAY WRONG so the post is on hold.  Way wrong as in fabric medium is strong stuff....... and I think we need new flooring now - OOPS!!! ;)  Also, I screwed on panel up (I shouldn't paint when I'm tired) and Wal Mart is OUT OF THEM AGAIN!!!!  Anyways, there's my post for the day.  Pretty aqua end tables.
