I was at Goodwill and saw this table and I fell in love! I know its an ugly duckling:) I just knew it had potential and I have been wanting a larger table for family dinners and such.
YES! $24.99! I was sold:)
I already have two tables! They aren't quite what our family needed though.
This one has the four legs. So if you try to sit more than for people someone gets a table leg at there knees. Not comfortable.
The chairs were comfy though. I know this every time she came over:) She also said since I was getting another table she would have no problem switching tables with me. Mmmm score!! She had a white and light oak table with the white tiles in the top of the table, which she despised. LOL! But it came with the windsor like chairs...which I wanted. So we switched and I am going to recover the seats for her to match her decor (this will be the third time I have done this).
This is the table I had in my dining room. I love it but it just is too small to have dinner at. We have since put a pool table (ahhh men!) in the dining room and this is just spare now. I have put it in my kitchen because its convenient to work on cakes and I don't have an island, yet.
I so lovvveeee Remodelaholic.com it is my absolute favorite site for ideas on redoing stuff in your home. While browsing through all the wonder projects on the site I found this table redo and knew that was what I wanted to do, but I want to distress the trestle part some.
So I stripped:
and started staining. I chose a walnut stain because it reminded me of the table we ate at growing up <3. This is the first coat. I am going to do two and then a couple coats of poly. I so love this table! Stay tuned for the 2nd part of this wonderful table redo:)
