We picked up this awesome HUGE pedestal table for free on craigslist. We completely transformed it by refinishing the tabletop, and painting the pedestal and chairs, then using a stain treatment to bring out the detail. We covered the seats in a gorgeous teal seahorse print fabric.
It looks amazing in our dining room
The tabletop was yellowed and had cigarette burns in it before
These chairs went from drab to fab
We used Behr paint in Heavy Cream, Danish Oil in Dark Walnut and Minwax stain in Weathered Oak to acheive this look

    This looks really nice! I would like to ask about the chandelier, did you spray paint it?

      @CathyMiller Yes, it was an old brass chandy that I picked up for $10 and spray painted. I have since replaced it with a larger, and ironically brass chandelier with a nautical vibe. It looks better with the scale of the table. I moved this little turquoise one out to my porch.
