Who Doesn't LOVE the Christmas Tree Shop?

Now, can you say I was SUPER excited when the Christmas Tree Shop finally opened up near me!!  This store has a little bit of everything at reasonable prices. 

I've been looking for a small kid's table for my room ALL summer.  Every table I found was for tots so when I found this little table I HAD to have it.  How can you beat $40 for a small table and two chairs?

Of course I did a bit of my own artsy work on it.  The chairs before were a navy blue and a bright red.  I sanded them down and painted them to match my room.  I also added the polka-dots to the table.  This will be used during Daily 5 time and I just might buy another one for writing during Daily 5.  I like giving my kids options on moving around the room to work.

Here are the pics!

  1. I absolutely LOVE that store!! It's in the top 5 list of "dangerous" stores according to my husband, right there with Target, Lakeshore, Mardel, and Walmart!!! :) I always thought it was truly a Christmas store but boy was I wrong!!! :)

  5. I agree, the CTS is ever bit as dangerous as Target and the Dollar Tree!!! Fortunately, my nearest CTS is 40 minutes away, just far enough that I need a real reason to travel to go there! I can't believe the great furniture they have (I actually bought my living room side tables there and people think they are similar to Pottery Barn ;).) Your tables look awesome!
