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.

Monday Made It #3

This week I have been really busy.  I have been thinking about my classroom and what I could do to make it more Wolfelicious!  So, I am joining the Monday Made It to share with you what I have been working on.

The first think I would like to share my redone table.

Unfortunately, I forgot to take a before picture.  The table I started with was green.  Here is a picture of the table after I painted it this lovely blue color.

After I painted it I got this idea of Modge Podge.  I knew I had to use it to make this table Wolfelicious!  I bought scrapbook paper at Michael's and Modge Podged it on the table.  Here is how it turned out.

 

I can't believe how different it looks.  It is now Wolfelicious.

Next I made Birthday Balloons for my kiddos.

Thanks Brooke Hilderbrand for this awesome Freebie!!

(Click HERE to read and see the balloons from last year.)

I have been working on new dismissal signs for my classroom.  I knew I wanted to make them into stars and I wanted them to be glittery.  This is what I came up with.

I am waiting until I find out how my kiddos are going home to hang them up.

You can check them out at TPT.

I loved my first pocket chart so much that I decided to redo another one.  You can check out my first one here.  Here is the before picture.

And Ta- Daaaaaa.  Here is the after.

 

I think this one turned out to be Wolfelicious too! :)

Then I bought some baskets at Target at the end of last year.  I bought a black, white, and a teal colored basket.  Since I had left over spray paint I thought I would paint the teal basket blue.  Then I had to jazz it up to make them Wolfelicious baskets.

Before.

After.  I will place one basket at each of my tables for trash.

The last think I worked on was updating some of my pictures on the picture wall.  I didn't switch all of them, just some to add the baby.
 I can't believe how old my oldest looks in the blue tunnel picture.

Thanks for reading today!!  I hope you got a new idea to make your room a Wolfelicious room!
