The new kitchen look!

I've been dying to paint my kitchen set-
love the round table-
love the look of the chairs-
(well, not really but...)
 just not their weight-
-way too heavy-
So, as I've shown you before,
I've been scoring some great chairs at Club GW-

I was going to paint them white
 because the table blended into the floor
which also blended into the chairs-
one big blending-


I painted the table-2 coats worth
each chair also got 2-

when I was done-
I realized it wasn't doing it for me-
Blah

My whole plan changed
and
today I repainted the table
 and six chairs
 the same color as the hutch
No more blah-


LOVE IT






Have you ever made a mistake with color
and been so bummed
 because of the time you ( wasted) spent?

The chairs from Club GW-
before....during...after...




But, I'm a happy camper now!
The fabric I recovered the chairs with,
 match the trim on the curtains-




Love the new color-
it really perks up the space
and
perks me up too!
The best laid plans don't always pan out
but, I must say in this case-
love the new found plan!!

Take care, gotta fly - Claire

  4. You are right - the white just didn't work in your kitchen. Sure ties in well now. Thanks for following. I'm going to be following you in a moment as well.

  8. Yes that's recently happened to me when I hastily painted my nightstands white and then months later wanted them to be gray. Spent time stripping them, sanding and repainting. I commend you for your perseverance.

  10. Personally, when I first saw it, I liked the table white. Until...I saw the final color you settled on. Now I LOVE it!!! I can see why it perks you up, Claire. Your whole dining spot looks so charming now. ;)

  18. Your table and chairs add a lot of color to your dining area. It is a nice change from all the black and white.

    I have med. blue in my kitchen and was debating on going black because I thought it was more "in" than the blue. Not sure at this point...

    Thanks for sharing this at my party!

  20. Love the paint job! I have a round farmers table, maple on top, worn, and white legs. I just bought 4 old maple Hitchcock chairs with gold and greenish-brown stenciling. What do you think about painting the whole table antique gold??? Thanks Claire!

  22. Love the color! I wouldn't think that you could go wrong with white, but the coral/pink color is so much better. Good for you for going for it!
