It all started when 2 of my chairs bit the dust! We are a family of 4 and I didn't want to go out and buy a new kitchen set just to have 4 matching chairs. We used the paint that was left from our porch floor (2 posts ago) and started painting. I had 2 of the rounded back chairs left and 2 chairs I was handed down from another family member. So I had 2 sets of 2 chairs that did not match at all. The 2 that were mine were white and maple the other 2 were a dark solid color. We decided to paint all 4 chairs entirely red to make them more cohesive and paint the table red leaving the tabletop natural.

Free Kitchen Table Redo!
It all started when 2 of my chairs bit the dust! We are a family of 4 and I didn't want to go out and buy a new kitchen set just to have 4 matching chairs. We used the paint that was left from our porch floor (2 posts ago) and started painting. I had 2 of the rounded back chairs left and 2 chairs I was handed down from another family member. So I had 2 sets of 2 chairs that did not match at all. The 2 that were mine were white and maple the other 2 were a dark solid color. We decided to paint all 4 chairs entirely red to make them more cohesive and paint the table red leaving the tabletop natural.I NOW HAVE A DEDICATED SEWING SPACE!!!!
This space is in one end of my guest room. Our house is only 4 bedrooms, but they are all good sizes! These 2 pictures show the space to the left of the bedroom door and I still have a bed and dresser to the right of the door. Total cost for this update was $7!
The table was from a set of three that we kept in our garage for social gatherings. The dresser stores fabric and notions and was already in this room as was the bookcase. The only update to this room was the red chair. I bought it at a boy scout sale for $7. I sanded it down and painted it with some red paint left from my porch project (previous Post). I am a former tupperware consultant, hence the various tupperware organizers around the room and the orange circular scrap bin on the floor.
I formally used my dining room table for sewing and the setup was a constant source of frustration. I didn't have storage and it was an eyesore if I didn't pick everything up right away.
Let me know what you think!
