Dinner Table

The dinner table you see on the post below was originally a cherry-stained, drop-leaf table.

Jeremy and I bought it at an auction for $90.00! =) We thought it was great deal. Being a drop-leaf, the table was a little awkward for sitting. The legs came out at an angle so that they sat diagonally and you couldn't properly fit 6 chairs around it.

Our plan was always to remove the legs, and re-attach them straight. So with plans to have Thanksgiving at our home, we finally got around to work on it. I actually, Jeremy did all the work - I just picked out the colors!

Here it is, primed and with four legs reattached at right angles.

And here it is at our dining room the night before Thanksgiving. :)  Unfortunately, we didn't take a picture before we set the table, but you can kind of see the legs and top of the table. We chose to paint it two different colors. The legs are painted a shade of grayish brown, and the top ivory.

I love how the table turned out. =)
