My Newest Project

I finally found a craigslist table that fit my description of what I was looking for and cost under $100 since I am planning on refinishing.  And because it's not so pretty the girl was only asking $20....so I offered $15, and she took it.  It's going to take me a little more work than one in better condition would have but we'll just add an extra day of sanding off a crap paint job to my timeline, which is non existent cause I'm not in a dire need for a table I still have one!  Anyway, here's a before for you!

straight from the craigslist add where I found it

look at that nasty textured crap paint job someone tried to do!
rough top, ugly legs...should be fun!

Buh-Bye ugly brown textured paint!




Hoping that it turns out amazing.  Then to decide what to get for chairs!  Opinions, 4 matching chairs painted the same? 4 mis-matched chair styles all painted the same color?  Or matching for each opposite side of the table but two different style chairs? 4 mis matched chairs in 4 different colors?  Hint, Hint, table plans currently are this teal blue on the base.

A. different chairs at ends of table 

B.  actually LOVE this one, same style chair at opposites sides of the table but different sets for each side

D. Mismatched chairs in white

C.  Teal base, 2 of each color chair all the same style

E. All the same style but different colors

F. All different chairs

G. Another all different colors, all different chairs
What look do you like, I'm honestly digging the mis-matched bright different colored chairs myself, or mismatched chairs all different colors.  Decisions Decisions.  Tell me what you think!  Oh yeah, Addison has a lovely Teal painted highchair that will sit at the table also if that changes your opinion, and we will only have four chairs at the table.
