Dining Room Table Makeover

Happy summer!  I hope your summer is going well!  I have been busy hanging out with my boys and redoing my dining room table. 

Have you ever looked at your furniture and just wanted something different?  

I used to love my dining room table.  I bought the table for my first house.  It was an older house and the naughty wood table looked perfect.  But, it has been awhile since I bought it, and my house has changed.  I want something different.

So...

project makeover dining room table begins!

Here is my my lovely table. 

(Sorry I forgot to take a picture of the whole table so I had to take half of the table since one side is already stripped.)

Nothing wrong with the table, but I just wanted something different. 

I started by stripping the table.  I used Citristrip.  It made it super easy to do.  Spray on and wait 30 minutes.  Scrape off.  Easy Peasy. 

Then my hubby added a filler to the decorative groove.  I have hated the decorative groove since I bought it.  Food has always gotten stuck in the groove.  Gross!!

Filled!  Wahoo!!

Next, the hubby added a cherry stain to the table.  I painted the legs  white.

I also painted the chairs white. 

Next, was my favorite part.  I distressed the white part of the table and the chairs.

Last, I waxed the painted parts and hubby put poly on the table top.

Ta-da!!!  It is all finished!

Now, I need to figure out what I am going to put on the middle of the table. 

Here are a couple more pictures of the table and chairs so you can see the distressed parts.  I don't think the pictures do it justice.  

We also added new coverings to the seat cushions.  2 black and 2 in the damask print. 

Top of table. 

My new, but old table.  Here are a few more pictures of it. 

I love how it turned out.  It goes great with my black distressed buffet table.  Now I need to paint my curio cabinet. 

I hope you have enjoyed my makeover.

Update: I've added a center piece to the table.  My mom made the flower arrangement.  I love how it turned out.

Dining and Living Room Makeover

Do you hear me screaming?  Really, you don't?  I am very surprised!  I just finished redoing my Living and Dining Room and every time I walk through it I scream.  This isn't a bad scream.  It is a very happy, that I can't believe this is my room scream.  I can't wait to share these rooms with you. 

 Now onto the Living Room.  Here is the before picture.  Don't look at the red lamp shade, I was deciding if I liked it.  Not bad but nothing too exciting.

Here is the after picture.

 Added a curtain. New lamps and shades. New pillows. New decor.

 New rug.

Love these.  Got these from Hobby Lobby in the clearance sections. (Woot!  Woot!)

More of the new decor.  (LOVE!)


Took my old pillows and made covers for them. Yes, I made the covers. :) 

The lamp shades we got have a design on the inside so when the light is on you see the design.



Unfortunately, I forgot to get a before picture of my Dining Room. :(  Sorry.

Here is the after picture.

Look at the rug.  OMG!!  I am in love.

The black piece of furniture I distressed.  You can find the tutorial here.

Love these candles holders.  One of my many finds at the Hobby Lobby.  I think they go perfect with the rest of the decor.

I love, love, love, my new rooms.  I want to scream every time I walk by the dining room. I just love the rug.  As you can tell I have been very busy so far this summer.

Thanks for checking out my new rooms.  Have you entered my giveaway?
