Table set done…and sold

04.19.2012 by juliegumm@yahoo.com //

After the little blue chalkboard table, I’ve had several projects going in the garage. My parents got my not-so-subtle hint about a paint sprayer for my birthday – via an email w/ a link to the Amazon page 🙂 and so I was waiting on that for a bit. I finished some little things while I waited, but when it came I got to work on these…

  

Those nasty gold seats had 3 layers of fabric on them. A thousand staples later and all four seats were re-upholstered. (Really, redoing chairs like this is SUPER simple – all you need is a staple gun.)

Paint, distressing, wax and the set (which came from two different stores really) became this…

Mark helped me move it into the booth at the antique mall on Sunday afternoon.

By Monday it was gone. I priced it at $199. Probably could have asked $250 but I didn’t want it to linger in the booth too long – got more stuff to get in there soon.

I was really pleased with how it turned out.
