We decided to finally sand and finish a table we bought four years ago. The intent originally was to stain it, but we wanted some more color in the dining room. I wanted an antique red, but the color we chose was a little lighter. It turned out really nice.
We put the last coat of paint on yesterday, so it'll be reassembled and back in the house today- yeah!! I read a NY Times article about a couple with a small space, but the best part was what they did with their dining room chairs. Instead of spending a ton of money on chairs (they're like $100 and up apiece) they bought all mismatched chairs and painted them the same color. So that's what we're going to do, it'll be cheap and add a fun look.Oh yeah, we used a Behr high-gloss paint. Hopefully it won't be sticky, but whatever. If it backfires we can just sand and change the color on a monthly basis!!

This project table turned out Great.I love that you guys did this instead of purchasing a new one.
Well done.
Thanks! We are pretty happy with it even though it isn't the color we had in mind! It really lightens up that area.
