Dining Room Table Makeover

I just had to share the makeover I did on a dining room table and chairs that was recently gifted to me.  I had a dining room table that I loved but the leg was broken and we couldn't fix it.  So this was perfect!
I had the week of 4th of July off of work so I knew there was no time like the present to get this done.  I started by stripping off the stain that was on the table top, sanding it and staining it. 
Next I made my own chalk paint and painted the table base and the chairs.  It took 2 coats on both to get the cover I wanted.   
 Next, I recovered the seats with a drop cloth and painted on some stripes in my favorite color.  I then put 2 coats of polyurethane on the table top.  I could hardly wait to get this in my dining room! 
I didn't get a before picture of the whole table but here is a chair and the leaf that I still need to finish so you can see where I started.  Such a huge improvement! 
And now that it is in my dining room, I just had to play dress up with it! 
 Aqua is my favorite color so I set the table to match the stripes on the chairs.  
 Doing this makeover was a lot of work but seeing the final result made it all worth it!  Now I want to do this to all the things!
 It's amazing what a little imagination and work can do to make something beautiful!
