Dining Table and Chairs Makeover

Last winter, as many of you know we bought our little home away from home condo at the beach and started the process of making it our home. I posted a picture of my thrift store china hutch and  a glimpse of the table and chairs.

Today I thought I would show you the chairs up close and personal. I found the table and chairs at another thrift store. There were four side chairs and one armed chair (sounds like it's packing heat). Anyway...
They were dark wood and badly scratched  so I did what I always do ... painted them white!

I always forget to take before pictures, just to anxious to get started I guess.

The plan was to cover the seats in blue toile but I just couldn't cover over these seats.
All of them are in pastel colors.



 There was no stains so I just cleaned them for my own
piece of mind with upholstery/carpet cleaner and kept them as they are.


The armed chair guards the door with a little $1.00 Goodwill pillow.


The plates and chargers are yard sale finds. The chargers are wooden, Pier 1 and they were Christmas
red and green. I painted them with a Folk Art taupe color. 
The cute little ceramic shell napkin rings are vintage, like me. One of my special education classes painted these as a fund raiser.
 I think they did a great job of getting them so realistic.
They got them in greenware, cleaned, fired and glazed them.


The table cloth is another Goodwill find and I got the pitcher at Target as a clearance item.


It is difficult to see in the picture but it matches the turquoise oops paint I used inside the china
hutch perfectly.
If you're still reading, thanks so much for visiting my little dining area. Have a great week and
come again!
