Kitchen Table Makeover

For months now I've been wanting to re-do my kitchen table. I've been thinking that it looks a little boring.. So this past week I decided that I'd finally give it a makeover. I love the idea of a two-toned look (dark wood and white). So with that being said, that was what I modeled my table after. :) Here's an idea of what I found online while I was searching for ideas..

I literally searched, searched, and searched some more on how to sand your table correctly, what stain to use, the brushes, the paint, all of that! It actually took me about a week to FINALLY finish the project, it's a lot harder than it looks!

I know what you're thinking.."umm, it doesn't look very good" but for this table not having TOO much character I think it turned out pretty decent for my first real 'refurbished' project. & the apartment floors really don't help the table out too much ;)

The chairs weren't the most fun part, only because painting in between all the spindles were a pain! Each chair took about three coats to paint. Reupholstering the seat cushions were super simple and I decided on the fun fabric because I thought it'd give it a little more character while still being very neutral. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the turnout.
