Distressed Table Setting

I was sick and tired of our table looking shabby with it's dents and dings!

I thought about sanding and painting it, but whats the point with 2 kids who'll just dent and chip it again. So with a little online research I decided to rough it up a little more!

Before......

Then with some sand paper ...



and clear gloss spray enamel.
 I gave it a worn destressed look. I couldn't believe how easy it was! just rubb wear sports into the varnish and add more dents!

Using a screwdriver I removed the old staples, cut some discounted upholstery fabric
to measure the size of the old covers and using a staple
gun I put the new covers into place......




  

the old becomes new! Much easier than I had anticipated! The hardest bit was removing the old staples from the underside of the covers. The actual covering was a breeze.

Keep Posted to see what my next plan is to dress up my dining area!
