Nook Update

So you saw that we got a new rug for the nook right? And you saw that Amber had finished painting the chairs? So the newest component was the table. Amber spent about a week and a half getting it painted black. Then we spent another week waiting to move it back in because our vacuum broke and we needed to vacuum the rug badly (it’s old, which means it was also dirty).

We wanted to take a traditional styled table and make it look more modern with black paint (similar to our west elm hutch). We got the table on craigslist (with 6 chairs) for $125. We turned around and sold the chairs for $100.  So we only had $25 in the table before painting. We used the paint supplies on 2 other projects (including the armchairs) so we don’t have an exact price, but we think it cost between $50 and $75 to paint the table. $100 bucks for a new table is not so bad right?

Mrs. WillsCasa (that’s my nickname for Amber cause we’re cute like that) is working on a post with a more detailed look at the painting process. I can’t do it because the whole process is pretty much voodoo magic to me.
