I love my kitchen. I have a huge island and tons of counter space.
And I love my kitchen table.
When we first moved into our house I insisted that I had a table that fit all of my family. An 8 seater isn't easy to come by (when you are on a tight budget). I really like the square shaped ones, but...my dining area is rectangular. Thus, I had to settle for a rectangular shaped table.
I went onto Craig's list and found an 8 seater for a great price. Better yet...it was right down the road. Literally 2 roads down. Easy pick up. What else could I ask for? Well...I would have loved to have gotten it for free...duh.
It only came with 4 chairs. I was able to find 4 more...FREE (of course).
Problem - nothing matched
Solution - spray paint it black
Problem - too lazy to sand
Solution - don't sand
Yes, I spray painted the table and chairs...
and I DID NOT SAND!!!
How?
1. remove chair cushions
2. Wash and scrub chairs (and table).

3. Dry
4. Spray paint ($1walmart brand)
5. Two coats
Once again, I DID NOT sand to prep it.
Cost me about $19 in spray paint.
2 coats on everything.
(note: depending on the type of wood finish you may need to sand. Everything had a very light finish and the paint took to it well...so I was able to get away with no sanding. This isn't always the case. It is always a good idea to test it out).
I have a plastic table covering on my table. It helps to protect the table top (because I didn't sand it). I also love the clear table covering because we slip items underneath (study sheets that we use for home school).
Plastic table covering $6
My Grand total (about) $25
I'd have to say this is the best part.
Some chairs have cushions and some don't.
I recovered the cushioned chairs with
black trash bags and the same plastic table covering.
