Dining Table and Chairs found curb-side

My husband found this table and chairs for free curb-side and, of course, couldn't pass them up. They were in serious need of some updating but we were up for the challenge.

    The chairs were spray painted a creamy white and the seats were recovered in some bargain graphic red and white fabric.

    The base of the table was painted creamy white and then glazed to bring out the detailed woodwork. We chose to sand and refinish the walnut table top...

    The glazing really brought out the details on the table base and chairs.

    Next I made slip-covers for the chair seats. The neutral shade made them more versatile and easy to clean.

    What a wonderful find!! I like the combination of finished wood top and painted bottom. I've had my eyes peeled for some curb projects for some time now. B-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l!

    I love your dining room...the little cabinets on each side of the window are just perfect and those "new" chairs are just gorgeous!

    This was a wonderful find Cindy! The condition dictated the finish but we LOVE IT!

    Homa - My husband was driving by when they were putting it out...so LUCKY! Even as he came home with it a neighbor offered to buy it from us. My husband does a lot of driving around Portland for jobs so he always has his eyes peeled.

    Penny - Thank you! This dining room definitely has given me challenges. :) Window being off ...»

    centered. I finally got smart and "disguised" with curtains. Work in progress!

    Julie - Thanks! We love finding treasures like this!

    Really nice find! I "found" 3 of very similar chairs at a thrift store for $7.50 each!
