an after only

Last spring I found it. The perfect dining table at the thrift store for $45. It was the right size and shape and solid hardwood. It was dinged and scratched and pretty ugly. It was perfect! I brought it home and took before pictures. Then our hard drive crashed. I lost them plus all the pictures from the last two years. Lesson? Backup, backup, backup. So there is no before picture, sorry. Just try to imagine an ugly, beat up, rectangular table.



Then John decided to take over the project. He sanded, primed and painted with satin finish black spray paint. Thank you, love! Then I applied three coats of Minwax Wipe-On Polycrylic in satin finish(my favorite) to protect it.




The chairs are from Target and at $89 for two they were the best price I could find for that style of chair. I gave them each three coats of wipe-on poly for good protection measure. Ta-Daaaa! I love how it turned out! It makes me smile every time I look at it. I love me a good makeover! *smile*
