Table and Chair

My Partner in Crime is one of my best friends, Ruthie. She hates this picture but I love it...

After I did my pallet table, Ruthie was given this super cute table and chair. We got some sanding paper and used my husband's crappy sander to get some of the old pain and stains off. I think it's a beginners sander for maybe a small child because the sandpaper kept coming off. We ended up sanding it by hand mostly. Good thing it was a small table and chair!

She bought a small container of the Martha Stewart paints you can get at Home Depot in a Metallic Gold and a Bronze. We painted the chair in Bronze and the seat in Gold and painted the table in the Gold and details of the table in Bronze. The table got 2 coats of paint and it covered beautifully. The chair we only did one coat of the Bronze because Ruthie wanted a little of the old Antique Red color to show through.




This table and chair turned out so freaking cute I can't even believe it! In the picture you can't really see the reddish tones on the chair but in person you can and it looks fantastic!

This small project took us about 6 hours start to finish over the course of a couple of days. After we sanded the table we wiped it down with a damp towel and let it sit overnight to dry out. Then we painted and let it sit for an hour or so between coats to dry.

I tried to get a picture of her sitting at the table but she refused... Oh well...
