What would you do with this table and chairs?
Comments (3)Oh my folks had a rattan set like that in our den in the 60's and I saw one at the antique mall the other day too. That furniture is VERY well made and weighed a TON. I know I have seen it painted and am not sure how they did it. I bet spray painting would be the best as there are SO many tiny places to get to. You will need to clean/?sand? prime/paint. At least that would be my guess. I am tring to remember what the top was on Mom and Dad's set and I am drawing a blank. I know what it is called ...it is not wood though...it will come to me or someone else will know. Good luck that is a great set. c...See MoreWhat would you do with this table? (pics) renofan? others?
Comments (10)Reno... I'm half tempted to send it to you because I know you would do something awesome with it!!! The effect you describe is what came to me after reading the first few posts here. Les... I had also thought about the distressed red idea. Good points are made here, though, about whether I should keep it at all. I guess somewhere I am hopeful that I can either make this house into one that I love or will move to another house in which this table will fit. I hate to give up the nicer things I have collected, but sometimes I suppose that makes sense. Case in point... the best furniture I own happens to be my Ethan Allen dining table and chairs. I love them. However, I have had to convert my little-used dining room into my office (pictured above) and with three little kids I hesitate to use the table in my kitchen, even though it would fit. So, for now it is kind of tucked into a corner of my living room and used as extra work space for DH and me. You can see it in this pic... My struggle is because I lived in my previous home for 5 years and spent the entire time making into exactly the home I wanted and loved. All furniture and accessories were purchased for that place. I finally had it exactly how I wanted it and we moved. Now, nothing seems to fit right. I'm "making do" with my things and waiting for a time when they will work again. Unfortunately, they are going out of style as I wait. I suppose I should be thankful that I ever had the home I wanted, be glad for my nice things, and quit whining, eh? LOL...See MoreWhat style is this table and what would you do with?
Comments (2)painted chairs Upholstered parsons type chairs Or wooden chairs, chairs with seat pad, wicker, pretty much anything a little casual....See MoreWhat would you do to update dining room table. Stain or paint?
Comments (37)Hello everyone. This has been a process. Thrilled with how the chairs turned out. The picture does not do it justice. New webbing, foam and Dacron wrapped seats. We will wait for next year to tackle refinishing the table. We want to use the table during the fall/winter months vs the kitchen counter. Put up a new light fixture (34" from the table) Now....I'm thinking of curtains on the entire back wall as suggested by Beth H. : ...but what color? What do you think about a colored sheer? I do like the light coming through the blinds....which we did ditch the metal blinds.. ran to Home Depot and got faux wood for now. I'll post some updated photos. As always, your comments are truly appreciated....See MoreKendrah
