New Paint and Finished Homemade Table






I have been busy giving my front room a makeover.  Here is the dining room with its fresh paint and new chairs as well as the new table and benches that I built.  I don't have all the pictures on the walls or the glider chair recovered, so the other side of the room will be unveiled a little later.  Maybe a lot later depending on how much motivation I can muster the next few weeks.
The picture doesn't do the paint justice.  It is a nice sea foam green color,  NOT baby blue!  :)  It's a drastic change from the barnyard red.

I got the plans for the table online at anawhite.com.  I modified it of course, because I wanted square.  I made the benches just by using the same basic design as the table.  It's a heavy beast,  Brian did not enjoy moving it in for me!

The chairs I bought at a local furniture store and the window in the background I plan on making a nice stained glass piece to put in it.  Clear glass, not colored.  I'm way excited. 

I am itching for compliments, so please drop a line.  :)

Hey there! Its your neighbor. I love the bench, it looks like it came with the table.
I'll have to stop by sometime and see the seafoam for myself, but it looks good from the pictures!
