So, with inspiration from Design on a Dime, I went through this week and repainted a bunch of mismatched furniture in my living room to make everything match a little bit more. Our favorite pieces in the space are dark stained wood, so I grabbed a quart of a rich chocolate paint to do our updates. I painted my $5 thrift store coffee table and an old side table that I have had for years. Both were stained, scratched and various shades of stain that didn't match anything. I also updated the woodwork on my favorite vintage chocolate velvet lounge chair with the same brown paint. Everything looks so much better. Here are a few before and after pictures:

Now, I just have to do something about that ratty, dirty couch...

I am so with you on the HGTV addiction. I watched HOURS when home with our first babe, and have been addicted ever since. One nice thing though? It's always a safe channel to turn to when the kiddies get older and dad left the TV on HBO the night before. :-)
