{DIY} Children’s Table and Chairs

July 16, 2013

Wow that took way longer than I expected.  I am so happy to finally be able to show you the children’s table and chairs I refinished for baby A!

I gave you a preview of this table and chairs from my childhood last week HERE, when I realized this project would take longer than I thought.  All-in-all it took me about a week (spread over 2ish weeks) to complete this table and chairs.  Mostly because it took so many coats to cover the table top and chairs.  But I’m so happy with how it turned out!

This is the perfect little girl table.  To start this project, I first used 150 grit sand paper to sand the wood prior to priming.  I wanted to make sure I removed any rough patches.  I used a regular wall primer that we had on hand at the house to prime all 3 pieces.  I only did 1 coat because it took quite a while with all the corners and hard to reach places on the chairs.  Looking back, if I’d done 2 coats it may not have taken as many coats of spray paint to get the color I was looking for.

It took only 2 coats on the legs of the table, but about 4 on the table top to get an even color.  The chairs took about 4 or 5 light coats to get full coverage.

I chose spray paint to get even coverage without any streaks.  I really like how you can control the color saturation with spray paint.  The color is Krylon Catalina in a satin finish, which I got at Hobby Lobby.  I also did a clear polyurtehane spray coat in satin to protect the paint and wood.

And Baby A already loves it too!
I think this table will last her quite a few years.

What to you think?  Do you love the color as much as I do?

    This set turned out so pretty! It’s awesome that your daughter is using the very same table and chairs you used. You’re lucky that your parents kept them! Thanks so much for sharing them at our Get Your DIY on Fall Party Challenge! This Sunday at 7:00 pm EST starts our new theme, chalkboard projects. I hope you can join us again! 🙂
    XO, Christy

Oh Hey there friend 👋 How was your weekend? Te Oh Hey there friend 👋  How was your weekend? Tell me one awesome thing that happened! ⠀
⠀
We celebrated my daughter’s birthday with shopping and a horseback ride 🐎  through the fall colors of Jackson Hole (swipe to see her on her sweet filly and the gorgeous colors). We are loving the Tetons 🏔 and Jackson Hole. Definitely considering this area as a place to settle down.
Little humans make the best weights. 👩‍👦🏋🏼‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you all for your sweet comments and support from my last post. I so appreciate everyone who is behind us sending prayers and good vibes for our girl. ❤️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In other news, my human 50 pound weight is a head and a half taller than everyone in his preschool class. 😳 It is the funniest sight to see every time I pick him up. 😂 But he still wants to be with mama whenever he’s home so I’ll take it. ❤️
Guess who’s back. Back again. 🎵 Oh hey friend Guess who’s back. Back again. 🎵 Oh hey friend! Been a hot minute since I’ve been on social. I have so much to share, but figured I’d start with why I decided to take a social media break.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In all honesty, I was stressed out with keeping up with work and felt like I wasn’t being a good wife and mom, and all of Audrey’s PANS stuff was so overwhelming. Plus all the BS going on in the world and how divided people have been. I just needed a break. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While some of that has improved, we are still in the thick of being PANS parents and the hell that that is right now. 😩 But I figured a new month was as good a time as any to get back on, so here I am! I’m sharing some more life and house updates in my stories as well. ❤️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What’s new with you? Tell me something good in the comments? 👇🏻
I’ll take some snow with a side of snow and more I’ll take some snow with a side of snow and more snow. Have I mentioned we love snow? Buuutttt....living in our 5th wheel in the snow hasn’t been as amazing as we’d hoped. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Luckily that’s all changing soon. Stay tuned! 😘
