Painted the dining room table!
I painted and polyurethane-d the table top, and spray-painted gold the metal details on the legs. Sort of tacky but they were a very gross, cheap brass from 40-some years ago and looked awful even after I cleaned them.
The polyurethane finish is still drying so I can't pose the table with any place settings, so use your imagination! I am really excited to have this set done. They are sort of a weird style, but I'm not digging the new looks at Pottery Barn (too traditional and chunky) or the modern looks of West Elm. Maybe this is an anthropologie-type dining room look? I hope so.
Thanks to craigslist, I paid $60 for this table, three leaves, cover protectors for the tabletop and the leaves, and six chairs. Plus $4.50/yard for the fabric, $20 for the paint, and a few dollars here and there for other expenses like staples. I think it was a good deal!
