Found these old pieces of furniture on KSL. We even drove all the way out to Heber City to get the table. I wasn't exactly sure at first what I wanted to do with the table but I knew I wanted it to be a farmhouse style because I adore them! I spent hours upon hours researching fabrics, coming up with a design, choosing colors, going to the paint stores/home improvement stores, and so forth. I finally made the decision and got everything picked up and order offline and the project began. Due to my health we only did things here and there because I don't have the capacity physically to do a lot at a time or during the day really. So it ended up taking us a good 3 months to finish everything. Plus the wood was a nightmare. We had no idea that it wouldn't sand down and then stain. Nope, instead we had to get wood stripper, sand for at least 20 hours, and stain it about 4 times. ha ha. But it made for good memories and times for Daniel and I! One day I went flower shopping and found the most adorable vases as well! I love how all the colors are bright and happy! That was really the goal of this project. To brighten up our lives! We seriously love doing these projects together and it's amazing how they turn out. It feels so great to stand back and see what you've created. It's one of my all time favorite feelings and things to do! To create!!! To finish it all, we primed the chairs and then painted them, made the seat cushions and upholstered them, stained the top of the table/put a protect-ant on top and painted the bottom of the table white! I just love how it all came together!
One day i'd love to become an interior designer/decorator. I think it'd be amazing and I think I have some talent to back up the idea. :)
I love it!! Love, love, love it.
