I actually purchased this table and chairs months ago from my beloved Craig for $130.
It's made of solid wood and very sturdy. And I really like the rush seats and the curves of the table.
But those farm animals.
They needed to go.
I knew all along I was going to paint it, just didn't know what color. The top is in pretty good shape and because it is purposely knicked up to look distressed I went ahead and filled in some other spots with my handy-dandy sharpie.
I decided on A.S.C.P. in Graphite for the chairs and the base of the table.
I distressed it a bit to let some of the yellow underneath show through then applied brown wax to make it a little darker.
It looks a lot better this way and blends in with the rest of the kitchen.
I've decided to extend my giveaway to this Friday. I didn't get to post as much as I would have liked last week so to give my regular readers a fair chance you'll have an extra few days.
Just click on the link on my sidebar for the details on how you can win a gorgeous Summer tote bag like this one.
Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulicious week!
xoxo,
Kim

such a great transformation! The set has such great lines and looks fantastic now that all the kitsch is gone :)
The table and chairs are fantastic. Love the shape and yes, the curves and rush seats are beautiful. Also really like the gray color. Very pretty. Hugs, marty
It looks great with the Graphite, Kim! I was thinking black, especially with those rush seats. Love the distressing you did; just enough, in my opinion.
Nice redo - you did good!
I stay behind on everything these days.
Have a great week.
Love the table re-do!
I am not grieving the loss of those chickens at all! Your dining set came out gorgeous!
