Table and Chairs ~ Before and After

Last week I picked up this table and chairs set

off of Craigslist.

It's a gorgeous drop leaf table

with 3 leaves and 5 chairs!

What's not so gorgeous is

the water marks, stains, chips,

and the fuzzy blue fabric on the chairs.

EW

I started to rip the chair covers off

to find there was a previous fabric cover

underneath the blue as well.  It was a really

ugly tapestry colored almost black.

Not only were there 2 layers, the covers

were stapled, nailed AND glued! Sheesh!

I am now sporting a few blisters,

a broken nail, and a few cuts on my hands..

All in all.. it was sooo worth it.

Check out the afters!!

Painted white, of course..

Recovered the chair seats

with some beautiful

yellow, blue and white toile fabric.

Shabbied her up..

LOVE that it can be converted

to a drop leaf breakfast table too.

So cute!

(I still need to paint the 3 leaves

that came with the table..

but, for now, I'm taking a break!)
