Painted Dining Room Table

Folks we are slowly getting our dinning room together. I think all that's next is some chairs and décor both of which I cant wait to start on.  But for now I'll just sit back and admire my new...well new-to-me dining table.

Right onto the piece











Okay so we really didn't have a lot to do for this piece. Except we did have to do one thing...we had to chisel the siding off the edge of the wood table. Which took a bit of time but it was worth it in the end. I decided to stick with the same paint for the table legs & chiseled part to pull them together with the china cabinet. It took a few coats of paint for everything and a lot of time to dry. Now we didn't have a wood chisel handy but we made due with what we had. I learned alot about chiseling like you should go with the grain. That's very important! You also need a hammer to help you.

Here's what we finished with.



Yup its really needs some chairs now and a rug (Is it even possible to make a rug?). Maybe I can talk Jason into pushing up the chairs in the mean time while I figure out the rug idea.

  4. Great table! I need to do mine as well. You CAN make a rug. My local craft exhibition had a woman making a braided rug out of wool scraps. perhaps using a couple wool blankets from a thrift shop. braid starting at center making an oval loop, sewing together with heavy thread. She would braid some, and had a big clamp that she would attach braid to table to keep tight while she was sewing a section.
