I've been dying to paint my kitchen set-
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-
I painted the table-2 coats worth
when I was done-
I realized it wasn't doing it for me-
My whole plan changed
and
today I repainted the table
and six chairs
Have you ever made a mistake with color
and been so bummed
But, I'm a happy camper now!
The fabric I recovered the chairs with,
match the trim on the curtains-
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

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.

So cute! The red is better and I like it against the teal walls! :) xo, Reannah
ReplyDeleteOh my God, this looks incredible! I love the new color and the seat covers! You are so talented.
ReplyDeletehi claire,love the look...and your fabric choice... looks beautiful with the red table & chairs...
ReplyDeletelove the color! That's awesome!
ReplyDeleteYes 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.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful color..Love it. Well worth the extra time spent repainting.

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. ;)

Great job. Love the color.
ReplyDeleteYour table and chairs add a lot of color to your dining area. It is a nice change from all the black and white.
ReplyDeleteI 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!

Hi Claire, you did an absolutely stunning job with the table and chairs and I love how you matched the seats with the curtains. Great job. I have recently found your blog and am now following you, and will visit often. Please stop by my blog and perhaps you would like to follow me also. Have a wonderful day. Hugs, Chris
ReplyDeleteLove 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!
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I love having red in my kitchen.
ReplyDeleteLove 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!
