DIY Kitchen Table

So Joe and I are definetly not handy. At least we aren't really DIY-ers. I love that kind of stuff. And I'm really into decorating blogs.... go figure right? I kept seeing ideas of a re-purposed table. Painted a bright color.  So I found a few ideas with a traditional pedestal table and modern molded chairs and loved it! I thought if we could find a table to re-purpose on Craigslist.. with a miracle .. we could get a similar look. 

Here are a few bits of inspiration that I had saved onto my Pinterest. 

loved the aqua idea ....

Joe liked the orange...... 

THE TABLE

We ended up finding a round tradtional looking pedestal table on Craigslist. I wouldn't say it was 'the steal of the century', but it was a pretty good deal. Its what we wanted and in great condition... plus we were on a bit of a time crunch.  

The chairs are obviously not our style. But it came with the chairs and two leafs. So we thought the chairs might come in handy someday. For a party if we need extra seating. Who knows maybe we'll paint them.. eventually.
