Another little project.

So about a year after we got married we were given a table and chairs by some friends of my parents who were getting new stuff, we took them gladly because we didn't have one. Well, we've had it for 3 years now and kept talking about when we would get new table and chairs that look nice and match our stuff a little better. Then, Matt decided he would save a couple thousand bucks and just refinish the table and chairs we already have and retile the tile table top. I was skeptical, but of course, Matt is amazing and the final project looks AWESOME.

What our table used to look like.

HOORAY!!! Our New (looking) table and chairs

Another angle. The worst part of the project was probably sanding down and staining all four of the chairs, because there was so much detail work. I'm SO HAPPY with how they turned out. I just ordered some cute off white place mats from Pottery Barn and can't wait for them to come to finish on the table. Love it.
