So I bought a old table in need of some work and it came with a leaf and four chairs. But I did not like the chairs. I found chairs I love at Irca a hotel consignment shop with great deals on used furniture. I got four chairs that came with a table. Oh boy! Now I have three kitchen tables and twelve chairs. Yikes. So I am selling one today and I will sell the other when I can.
Back to the table and chairs I am keeping. Since I have a leaf the table can seat eight so I decided to keep and spray paint the original chairs so we have them around. I spray painted to chairs from the consignment shop as well. They look great. Oh and I got a little buffet type of table thing for the kitchen as well. That got spray painted. Now I have to sand the paint off the table and stain it black. I am staining and not spraying it because it will turn out better. Besides the wear and tear on a table with kids will likely take the paint off. With a stain I can put a lot of sealer on it.
This is turning out to be a big project but I am excited to have it done. I just went to World Market today and got these really cool looking tea pots for decorations. They are so cute and they were only 8.99 each. I have pictures for the wall. So once I put it all together I think it will look nice. I will put pictures up when I am done.

Can't wait to see the pics!
It sounds like quite a project. I have never heard of a hotel consignment shop before. How were the prices?
