f a r m h o u s e    t a b l e 
{and I am redoing my kitchen colors because I am a crazy lady}



Should we start off with a white table coming to the store tomorrow? 


Sweet, simple farmhouse petite table painted white, distressed and sealed with wax.

I also have for ladderback chairs to match that are already down at the store.

It could also be used as a cute desk {I have a chair for that at the store too}.


I was at one of my favorite stores Dwelling this week and they got some new Amy Butler fabric in. I fell in love with it and decided to change the whole color scheme of my kitchen. 


Photo: LOVE the fabric I picked at Dwelling today. It goes perfectly with my living/family room. I am making pillows tomorrow. The leftover fabric goes to pillows for the store.

I then found this cherry double base table at a thrift store for $29 and decided to paint it an apple green {this is also a bit nutty}. I had the chairs in my basement waiting to go to the store but instead they are staying with me and will be reupholstered.


I also need to reskirt my sink. Oh do you see my new kitchen island? It is made from a dresser found on the side of the road this week. My friend Molly texted me about it after her friend Amy texted her a picture of it. I quickly went and picked it up. It needed love and the bottom drawer is wonky so I took it out and added baskets. I painted it the same apple green and I plan on chalkboarding the back so the kids can draw on it. 


{I draped the fabric over the old fabric so you can see what it will sort of look like when I change out the black and white. Also, sorry I didn't clean my floors before taking this picture but in real life my floors are sometimes dirty :)}

{again sorry about the dirty floors I didn't know I was going to blog about my kitchen today or I would have cleaned it!}


I can't wait to show you the end result.
                                                             Now I need to go get sewing.

  1. Love your table and chairs! I also really like the chest you've redone. Did you spray paint the chest or brush it on? looks very nice!

  4. I didn't spray paint the green. It is a color I had matched in a latex with primer added then put into a sprayer. I love the color.
