Dining Room Makeover: Before & After pics!

Yes I know I have been talking about this for a couple of weeks... but drumroll... It's finally done. Well almost. Now I just have to put stuff on the walls. haha I still haven't gotten that together, but for now, here are the Before and After pics. My dining room makeover for almost $50 :)

Only pic I could find of the "Before"... from my cell phone. This is when I decided my table needed to sit at a diagonal in my dining room

These are the old chairs I got from my sister, Natalie... she let them stay outside, bet you couldn't tell?You can tell by the condition and style of the chairs that they were VERY old, but I loved them ever since I picked them up for her at my cousin Amy's house.
My New Dining Room!!!!

Total 180 degrees huh? The "new" refurbished chair!

Remember the back of the old chair?

The fabric!!!
Which I got on CLEARENCE at Hancock's for $3/yd :) It's decorator fabric too!

A detailed look at the "distressed" table and the hot mod chairs!

Well, what do you think? I've heard mixed reviews... but honestly, honestly... I love the chocolate wall. I FREAKED when I painted around the base & crown and saw the contrast... then I put the color on the wall and instantly fell in LOVE! I wanted super mod fabric that would go with the 70s style chairs and as soon as I saw this fabric I knew it would work and didn't have to look anymore. It really helped pull everything together (for me). I decided to go with white instead of staining the chairs just because the floors and the walls were so dark and it certainly puts a nice brightness/newness to everything :). For the table, I got my inspiration for the table from this "All Things Thrifty" post and instantly wanted to try it... I thought screw Christian Street Furniture stuff.... I CAN DO THIS... AND ALL BY MYSELF. Went to Lowes found a color and the glaze and in about 15 mins I had a new looking table. CRAZY!

Cost Breakdown:

Paint: $14.97/Clearance Behr Bed& Bath @ Home Depot (reg. $28.97)
Chairs:
Fabric $3/yd (I needed 1.25/yds) (reg. $12/yd)
Foam/Padding $2.99/yd (needed 2.25/yds) (could have gotten it on sale if I wouldn't have waited 1 wk later to buy)
White Spray Paint: $3.44/can Satin White Valspar @ Lowes (needed 5 cans, booo incl primer)
Table:
Blue Spray Paint: $3.44/can Gloss in Mediterranean Valspar @ Lowes (1 can)
Glaze: $8.98/ smallest little bottle in Asphalt by Valspar @ Lowes (used about 1/16 of it)

For a Grand Total of $52.07(+tax)

I guess not too bad, but really if they would have sold the silly glaze in a smaller quantity (I already bought the smallest bottle they had) I could have come in under budget! Crazy what a little bit of paint and fabric can do, huh?
