Breakfast Room Ideas...

Pin It I am building a new and much smaller table to fit in my tiny breakfast room.  I found a nice farmhouse style table on Ana White's website.  Simple enough to build and easy to adjust to fit my needs.

Then I stumbled upon The Graphics Fairy website and had the idea of incorporating an aged looking stencil to the table top like this.  With the right amount of stain, paint and light sanding, the table top can like like a salvaged piece from long ago.

I hope it turns out as great as I'm picturing it in my head...

I'm also thinking about building a built in bench with open areas underneath to put all the cookbooks.  Like this from Southern Living

Chair Do Over

Pin It 

Found these old restaurant chairs on ebay a couple of years ago.  Very sturdy.  Yes, that is a lovely maroon vinyl seat.

  I covered the seats with these pottery barn cushions, but even that didn't really help.

Found some cute fabric to recover the seats.  The fabric was actually an inexpensive sheet set from Walmart.  The colors matched the breakfast room perfectly and since I had to cover six chairs, it was affordable.

Spray painted the chairs with black.  Added extra cushion and batting to the seats to make them more comfy.
