Oops, I did it again....


....didn't take a before picture!! But, it wasn't that different than it is now. Just a plain mahogany colored table. I wanted it two colors, so I took the drawer out and painted it all black. I distressed the sides but didn't like the way it looked so painted back over that. Then I took the drawer and painted tan, then sprayed just a bit of metallic gold on top of that. I want to get different hardware then it will be done.

Reupholstered Dining Chairs



I desperately want to get a new dining table but for some reason it has sentimental value to Paul. So for now, just giving it a facelift. I didn't get the fabric I wanted because for the price I could have just bought new chairs. So I settled for this plain tan. I washed it, ironed it, coated it twice with scotch guard. Unscrewed, stapled, and screwed back on. My arms were quite tired! But it was worth it. Bye bye, out of date stripes! Next, dining room paint and new window treatments...
