Two Tone Dining Table

This dining table was sitting in the corner at my local auction house, under a couple of chairs. I had planned to work on my own dining table at some point, but when I saw her turned legs I couldn't walk past!

I knew what I wanted to do with her straight away, another two tone, but this time with legs that really stood out! With pale aqua paint and some distressing, I think she has turned out beautifully.

The table top itself wasn't in bad condition, it just needed a new stain / varnish. I went with a walnut, a nod to the original colour of the table.

I was originally thinking I'd search for some chairs to match, but then I was torn between picking up mismatched chairs or a finding a set of four. I'm still undecided ;). What would you do - do you like matching chairs, or would you go for mismatched?

Thanks for stopping by...

  1. It looks great! We did the same thing to our dining room table and I chose mismatch chairs. Good Luck! Found your post from the Live Laugh Linky Party! Thanks for sharing.

  3. It's really cute! I'm in a mis-matched chairs mode right now myself so that's my vote ;).
