French Provincial Dining set with Mirror

Hello again :)

 

This is my 2nd post today, 2posts in one day is a record for me! lol

 This one is about my French Provincial Dining Set I've just finished.

 

 

 

A friend of mine decided to go back to her native country Japan ( and I'm from there too) to raise her  2 beautiful daughters with her husband last August and she held a garage sale.

 I went there and spotted this table and 4 chair set and liked it right away.

It's always sad that your friends move far away,

I hope they're doing great and happy in Japan!!

 

 

Ok,here're the *befores*

 

After I wished her & family a good luck,my husband &I went for furniture shopping,

like I don't already have way enough furniture....lol

Then spotted this buffet & hutch.

( Hutch is behind the table in the above picture)

They went well together, both in French Provincial style,

so I decided to refinish them as a set.

I painted them in bluish grey custom color and enhanced the details with white.

Distressed a little and hand waxed everything.

 

For the chairs, I chose dark French scripted fabric.

It's for upholstery and very durable.

aw....I didn't take any photos (again) so I can't show you but

removing old fabric and staples from chairs are a lot of work!

I did that and stapled the new fabric to the chairs.

 

And here's the finished project :)

 

 

What do you think???

 

I love how the chairs turned out.

 

I added some pretty designs around the apron, legs and the top of the table.

Inside the drawers are lined with quality wall paper

 

 

 

 

Then I decided to do a mirror for this set.

Done in the same color and a bit of silver.

 

The black chair is for another dining set.

 

Take care everyone!

Thank you for stopping by :)
