Gourmet Table and Chair Set


I hope you are all having a great day so far.
I wanted to show you a bigger project that I have been working on
and finally finished.

I got this table at Goodwill for $15
It was solid and sturdy, but it had some surface flaws.

So I sanded the heck out of the top and got those smoothed down.

I then grabbed my CeCe Caldwells paint in brown and yellow.
I painted the top with the deep brown
and the legs and base with the California gold.

I then grabbed the two chairs that I had gotten at goodwill for $4.99 each.

I recovered the seats and painted the chairs to match the base of the table.
 

The fun part came when I finally got to use my Silhouette.
I made a stencil that said "gourmet" and painted it on the top before I waxed and buffed it.
 
 

I love how the deep chocolate colored paint makes the top look like a dark stain.

I am really happy with how this turned out, and its another piece that I wish I could
keep in my house!  :)
I hope you all have a BEAUTIFUL day!

Beautifully done. Your Goodwill must be a lot better than the ones around me. That table would have been at least $45 and the chairs $25. I'll just have to keep looking!

You did a beautiful job with this table and chairs, and what a great price at which you found them--well done! I recently got a little veneer console, and the original plan was to stain the top a dark color and paint out the bottom a lighter color, but the veneer was too thin to sand and stain, so I painted it a rich chocolate brown instead, and I am loving it! Hope to have it done soon, but I got all thinking I would be artsy and decided to go crazy with the door paint, and after I did the first one realized it was all wrong, so have to start over with primer on that one and do it again! I don't always know if I will like it until I see it on the furniture! But it should be ready pretty soon.

Well your hard work has really paid off, and what a great transformation you've done. I'm surprise I would of thought it was stained! The work you put in to it shows, so very pretty! Thanks for sharing your inspiration with Sunday’s Best – you helped make the party a success!

WOW! That is amazing, what a find! You must have a lot of patience to sand the entire table, with the detail on the legs and all.
Great work!!!!
