With all the play this break we needed a little project to make us feel like we accomplished something...
About 13 years ago we picked up this awesome table and chairs from our favorite store--DownEast Home. They have been great, but over the years they've received a little too much "love". 
So it was time for a makeover! Thank goodness I had a neighbor to mentor me along the way (Thanks Paige!), and some big girls that wanted to help.
Step 1--Remove upholstered seat cushions and clean those chairs!
Step 2--Spray paint the chairs...several times until we get a good coat.
Step 3--Paint the table--four coats! Don't forget to steel wool between coats!
Step 4--Rub on the polyurethane coats--3-4!
Step 5--Let everything dry for a couple of days--No touchy, touchy!
Step 6--Re-upholster the cushions and attach to chairs!
Step 7--Enjoy! I still cringe a little when the kids use the table...I'm sure I'll get over it!
It's fun when the journey is rewarding too!
