My Mom is thinking about doing a painted picnic table in her Dining Room, so I thought I'd post an inspiration photo....such a cute idea isn't it? :-)
She is, in turn, is giving me the Dining table and chairs she currently has.
They have been in my family for 100 years. They were a wedding gift for my Great Grandparents. The table has like 12 leaves!! We are so excited about this new addition to the Lettered Cottage. It's a dark wood, so I think it'll work nicely with the white beadboard as a backdrop.
I'm painting the Dining Room and Kitchen right after Christmas, so there will be lots of updated photos to share then. I can hardly wait!
For those of you who have asked me what the name of the color I'm using is, I don't know the name, but I will post the mixture information here when I post the updated photos. :-)
Happy Holidays,
Layla

I am flipping over the picnic table idea! If I didn't have a kitchen table that I love I would pick a picnic table! Just love it, especially with everything else in the room being more chic and modern!
ReplyDeleteJust discovered your blog and love it.
Happy holidays,

I love that beach blue picnic table in the dining room! I'd love to do that here...in Queensland, Australia. It would be perfect! Especially now...it is summer, you know.
