In January I came across this table with four chairs and 2 leaves. I don't usually go out looking for projects that take up so much room and take such a long time to complete. It was a great deal and had such potential that I decided to go with it. The top was in really bad shape. I have to say that my husband was a real trooper on this one. The table was heavy and was hard to move. I love the colors on this one. I think I will be using it on some things for my living room in the near future. I wanted a spring green for the base. I had a lot of green paint left over from another project, but it was too bright, so I toned it down with some white. The top was painted with a creamy white that I use all the time. After it was all distressed and waxed I went back over it with a dark wax. The table top has a couple of coats of poly on it since it will be used a lot.
The table was missing a cooper tip on the foot. I was able to find a piece of copper and shape another one. I then aged it with a solution I had bought for another project.
The chairs were painted in the cream color with a small green detail in the center. The fabric is a striped with a linen look to it. It all went on sale Thursday at Lavon's in Henderson. Thanks for checking it out.
