A new look for our kitchen! This table I purchased last summer at an antique show was initially planned to sell in our shop. However, after removing layers of glossy green latex paint, sanding and repainting using my custom chalk paint recipe, it's now a keeper in our kitchen. The chalk painted chairs actually matched a round pedestal table previously used in this space. Fortunately, the chairs compliment the table in regards to style and size. Glad repainting them for the umpteenth time was unnecessary! The color has a slight variation in tone then table.

In addition, the chairs do have custom made seat cushions but were temporarily removed until I can find time to re-change floral pattern for possibly a linen striped fabric. Of course, I would love to use vintage French grain sacks, but too costly. Meanwhile, contemplating whether to dress the kitchen windows using either solid white or striped blue and white curtains. Or, perhaps solid or striped shades. . . Decisions, decisions!!




Note: The photos seen here were taken last month during the shop's opening launch photo shoot.

That's it for now. Hope you're having a great week.
