home-work

I bought these rocking chairs at a garage sale a couple of weeks ago. I even got the man to go down in the price! My plan is to paint them black and find cute pillows! Can't wait to start rockin'.

Here are some things I have redone. I wish I had more before pictures :(

BEFORE:

AFTER:

This was my parents old dining-room table. It was a really shiny cherry wood. Over the summer, my mom and I sanded the table in the garage (SO HOT!), and then carried the table back inside to prime (too humid to paint outside!), carried it back outside to sand, then back inside to paint black....then the paint wasn't smooth enough, so we carried back outside (in the blazin' heat!) to sand, carried back inside to paint and back outside to sand and finally inside to paint! It was exhausting.....but worth it!

Don't even get me started on the chairs! Pretty much same drill as the table only times 6! The two chairs with arms are covered in green fabric and the four others are black and white floral.

Lastly, this is our entry table. It wasn't nearly as hard to paint. I've decided that I don't mind painting, but I could do without the sanding and priming! I think I'll leave that job to Mr. Cherry :)
