Shabby Chic Dining

With just over a month until we host our annual Thanksgiving dinner, I decided today was the day to look for a new dining table.  Our current table is lovely but we have outgrown it.  I decided to keep the chairs which I will reupholster and paint.  I found the new table at a thrift store that uses all its profits to help orphaned children in Africa...bonus!  This table is awesome!  It's solid pine and with both leaves in, is almost 10 feet long.  My plan is to paint the legs and refinish the top in a darker stain.  Here goes nothing!


Here is the current table with the chairs that I will redo

These are pics of my inspiration for this project
