Dining Table Transformed

I had the great pleasure of meeting a group of fabulous woman from Ortley Beach New Jersey this past summer.  They have spent the last two years getting their beloved summer residence back in order after super storm sandy.  Now they are concentrating their efforts into the primary residences in Livingston New Jersey.

I was asked  to try to create a new look to the dining room table and chairs..  We decided on painting the chairs an old white to match a piece already in the dinning room and stripping down the table of an aged golden yellow color into a lighter brighter look.  

Chairs were painted with Annie Sloan Old White 

We debated over painting the table the same or having a bit of a contrast.  We decided on the contrast leaving it a natural color.

This was the original color  

The first choice of color for the chair was Annie Sloan's Versailles which we decided against displayed above.

We totally sanded the down to the bare wood taking away any old chippy varnishes and imperfections

Here is the finished product....a totally different look.  The dinning room walls will be painted another color during the winter months.   This set now looks refreshed!
