(Before)
I suggested to Rich that we paint them....never in a million years did I think he would say yes. Not only did he say okay, but he was willing to run out and buy the paint that day LOL. I knew I wanted something bright and fun, but I didn't think just plain white would look right, when there was already so much white in there.
(After)
So I chose a bright sunny yellow with white trim. They look so beautiful now....fresh and new. I'm super happy with the results.
They look great! I wonder how well the paint will stay on the table through repeated washings? Did you use something special? NOt that I can do it anyway, my dining room is formal, but my table is a homeschool table, so it looks bad, lol. We are going to strip and restain it when we don't have so much going on to ruin it.
ReplyDeleteI love them! What a great choice!! Your kitchen has really come together over the last few months.
ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling better!
They've held up pretty well so far. I've had to wipe them down several times and it's been about 2-3 weeks now.
ReplyDeleteI'm planning on making some seat covers though to keep the kids from getting them so dirty (cause I'm too lazy to wipe them off every time they use them lol).
We haven't done it yet, but we are going to coat it with some clear coat to protect them even more.
But so far so good....
We spray painted an older kitchen table bright blue months ago and it's held up to daily washing too. It's in our living room.
Great job. I think the key to the paint holding up is a really good clear top coat. I would know since My kitchen table is a craft/sewing table more than for eating.
ReplyDeleteVery Nice!!! What a bright country feel you have now!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so nice! What a great way to give new life to the table!
ReplyDeleteWe just painted our living room, dining room and kitchen. we plan to buy a new dining room table - its old and the chairs are about to fall apart. After seeing your post, the thought crossed my mind to try the same with ours...but we haven't bought any new furniture in a long time so I think we will see if we can find something bigger than our current/old table.
That looks so pretty and fresh! It's amazing what a coat of paint can do.
ReplyDeleteWow! What a little paint can do-they look awesome! And I love your kids art wall- so wonderful
ReplyDeleteWow, what a transformation! I love your "new" table set!
ReplyDeleteI love the yellow with the white. How wonderful that he was so motivated to get them done.
