Freshened Up Kitchen Table and Chairs


For the spring I decided to recover my kitchen chairs as the material on them previously had taken quite a beating, most especially the kids chairs. And you know me...if I am going to change one thing I usually have to take it one step further and change everything!

At the beginning of last fall my table and chairs looked like this...


Then I stripped and re-stained the table top about mid-fall. It looked a little better but I knew I was going to be changing the material on the seat cushions in the not to distant future, if not for any other reason than to match them better to my new buffalo check curtains.



So with a little chalk paint, a Minwax protective coat, and some remnent fabric I bought at a local fabric and upholstery store, my dinette set went from this...


To this...



Remember my little purchase from yesterday???


How does it look filled with flowers?

  9. I really like the table, Barbara. We have an oak set that I am dying to paint just like this, leaving the top stained. I have to work on hubs! The chairs look terrific, too. Very bright and fresh looking! Well done! The flowers are beautiful in your "new" vase! :)

  12. I love the way your table turned out! I have a similar one and have debated painting it, since it's solid oak. I havew bow back windsor chairs and hate the thought of painting all of those spindles on the backs! They don't have fabric seats, however, but could use an update from age and from little grandchildrens' sticky fingers! Love your checked curtains as well! I'm very fond of black and white and hjave it in my kitchen, so this is another idea you've given me! AND, I really think that your beautiful trash can turned vase is gorgeous! What a waste it would be to use that for garbage! Enjoy your "new" dining set! Hugs, Leena
