While on our trip to NC/VA, it was decided that friends would gather at our house the following year. This gave me the excuse I needed (like I need an excuse) to go shopping for a new sofa. Afterall, most of our friends are at an age where inflatable matresses are not so comfey, so I needed to lay in supplies of non-inflatable sleeping options. So where does a girl go?? PotteryBarn of course!
I decided that I need this beautiful sectional with a sleeper sofa, and lamp. It wasn't going to be delivered until May, so I had time to get some other projects done. I really wanted to re-do the table located in the nook, so I had 2 months to get it done before the sectional was delivered.

This is the original finish of the table and chairs |
|
I had to strip the finish using a chemical stripper, then sand it down. I only stripped the portions that I was not going to cover with paint. |
|
I created a stencil with my cricut, and painted it with flat black paint. |
|
After painting the stencil and allowing it to dry, I sanded / distresses the stencil. Then I applied a wood conditioner, and an antique walnut stain. |
|
Once stained, I applied several coats of polyuerthane to seal it, then I painted the sash and legs white to match the trim in the house. |
|
I created a similar stencil for the chair seat bottoms. |
|
I disassembled the chairs, sanded them, and painted them white. |
|
VOILA! Finished! |
