Table and Chairs Re-do

We decided to re-do our Mom's kitchen table. It's been like this
for 20+ years, so it was ready for an update. First we had to
sand off this reddish/brown stain.

We liked to put the kids to work get the kids involved. :)
Now to add a darker stain.
We decided on ivory for the bottom. We also added on a
brown glaze to give it that antiqued look. Coming soon
is a tutorial on how we glaze and antique furniture.
To finish the table we painted on polyurethane to seal and
protect it
Sanding the chairs and getting them ready to paint.
We spray painted the chairs a similar color as the table and
also glazed and antiqued them. We used Krylon primer and
spray paint and Martha Stewart glaze.
Here it is after all the hard work!
We padded and stapled fabric to the chairs to match the
decor in the kitchen.

Our Mom is very happy with her "new" table and chairs.
