When we moved into our house, 2 years ago this month, my parents purchased us a table and chair set from Craigslist to fit into our new little breakfast nook. I loved the lines of the table, but never really liked the chairs. The table & chairs were oak stained and the chairs were very “country” in style. So, for the last 2 years I’ve been wanting to change it up a bit and FINALLY this last month I’ve gotten it complete it. A couple months ago I found 6 FREE chairs on craigslist. The chairs were in need of some repair ~ some wood glue, foam & fabric and they were a new creation. Check out these beauties!
Aren’t they pretty??? The chairs were pine colored. I lightly sanded them, painted them black, lightly distressed them & poly’ed them up. I did 1/2 of the chairs with this cute green & brown polka-a-dot fabric and the other 1/ 2 in a solid espresso brown fabric.
You can see in the pic above what the table looked like pre-make-over.
And here she is in all her crisp white glory…
I did the same process with the table ~ sand, paint, distress & poly’ed.
Here’s a view of her lovely legs… my favorite feature of my table.
I can say that I finally am loving my little kitchen nook.
It’s amazing what a little paint can do.

I love pedestal tables. I think they are a classic that will go with just about anything. Great job!
Those chairs are the greatest!!

I just love polka dots! The cushions are just adorable! Luck you to have a pedestal table- I am on the look out for one as my chairs dont fit under my table good because of the legs getting in the way!
