Dining Set Before & After

 

In order to stage the house we just renovated I needed a few things….like a dining room set.  I had a vision. 

I found the chairs @ Goodwill for $39.99 for all 4.  Yippee!

This table was left behind months ago….and I claimed it immediately.  Isn’t it gorgeous?  It has a leaf too.

I decided they would go together nicely for the dining room @ the house.   I painted the chairs….then recovered them with painters drop cloth.  Sorry…super bad cell phone pic. The point is….I painted them and recovered the chairs @ my office…lol.  Nothing like a little multi-tasking.  =)  Total spent. A few hours and about $52 bucks.

After:  Staged in the house.

My hope this house will sell FAST. Then I can distress the chairs….stain the table and bring them home w/me!  Last year I found our very overly large too big for our breakfast room table for $200.  Its beautiful……but we were going to moving to a larger home then decided not to and well….it’s just too big.  Although, I love the chairs….sigh.

old picture….not what our space looks like now…I was just playing that day. =)

This mirror now hangs in the breakfast room.  I believe this other table will fit much nicer in here, don’t you? UGGGG….I’m getting the itch to paint this room again…..help!!!

I love what you've done to the chairs. I've got to invest in drop cloth, I see so many uses for it. Like you darling I invested in 6 chairs for our dining room a while back, that room is never used now. Would love to sell the chairs and make it into a den instead, best layed plans of mice and men..

I've missed you too! It's been so busy lately around here but not nearly as busy as you with your renovations! I have a table by my front door that I want to paint and you know how I looooooooooooooooove to paint (can you just feel the sarcasm there?!). I'm going to Lowe's and hopefully finding out how all you ladies make things so beautiful with paint. When I paint furniture, even with good priming, it tends to chip and peel off so I usually just stain and polyurethane it. I think I'll try spray paint this time. Wish me luck!
