industrial sleepover

I've been in need of a new bedside table. The one I used in my <a href="http://news-these-days.blogspot.com/2012/05/now-i-can-lay-down-bedroom-reveal.html" target="_blank">bedroom reveal</a> was on loan from my daughters' playroom. Turns out, they didn't think it was as wonderful next to my bed as I did. So back downstairs it went and the hunt was on.<br /><br />At least though I knew what to look for because that table taught me I need more space. I don't know about you, but I keep a lot of <strike>crap</strike> important stuff by my bed and as dreamy (ha, no pun intended) as cleaning off my night stand on a regular basis sounds, it's not happening. <br /><br />So more storage was needed. But also, I wanted something different. Something certainly different than anything I had. Nothing that screamed 'hello, I'm a bed side table. Won't you lie down?'<br /><br />A tall order but nothing I can't find after a little digging. And right around my birthday, this table was found at a local shop, by the same name actually - <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/foundkirkwood/home" target="_blank">found</a>. Happy Birthday to me! It had plenty of storage and an industrial/vintage feel. This sucker can take a beating. Not that I'm particularly abusive with my furniture, but you know.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCjdKKte9iR5CXrIQJ5t95k8W9mHAU_9DJI7Vt56uhcj0AtuuYZWVKyhbwtUB271FuL1StBgY-2ZGwKt9EcXPjcYfzk0kQwMABDNX3yfJu24xOCAjhohtkxZvlQYOzIClFL7pcBWRPc9lE/s1600/IndustrialNightstand.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCjdKKte9iR5CXrIQJ5t95k8W9mHAU_9DJI7Vt56uhcj0AtuuYZWVKyhbwtUB271FuL1StBgY-2ZGwKt9EcXPjcYfzk0kQwMABDNX3yfJu24xOCAjhohtkxZvlQYOzIClFL7pcBWRPc9lE/s640/IndustrialNightstand.jpg" width="504" /></a></div><br />Getting this table for my birthday ment I've had it since July. So why haven't I posted about it until now? Because I wanted to live with it for a while. See how I liked it and get a feel for what I would want to do to it, if anything. I was waiting for my table to talk to me.<br /><br />And now that I've lived with it I'm thinking I want to fresh it up just a bit. Specifically its color.<br /><br />Ever since I picked up this orange greek key tray in Florida, I'm thinking orange might be the way to go. Pretty surprising I know since we all know my <a href="http://news-these-days.blogspot.com/2012/06/you-scare-me-but-i-like-you.html" target="_blank">fears about orange</a>. I must be growing. Or drunk.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxGRuFoW9CG3p9O8twTM7Jm7mXHa1le78oD_bNJe6b6KhvOKvdmRb2FI6FFASTfNjDEFWzOXRPflvM5kpagGP3kiCE3run5mnx4vk5_xlGrOwuBc1OXTbYV3Ce-YfvnXqzhyIh3SACTEih/s1600/NightstandTop.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxGRuFoW9CG3p9O8twTM7Jm7mXHa1le78oD_bNJe6b6KhvOKvdmRb2FI6FFASTfNjDEFWzOXRPflvM5kpagGP3kiCE3run5mnx4vk5_xlGrOwuBc1OXTbYV3Ce-YfvnXqzhyIh3SACTEih/s640/NightstandTop.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />So, what say you? Know of any good orange spray paint colors? I've got to have spray paint - can you imagine brushing this sucker? Any other color ideas?
