Ok, I am so excited about this project! I LOVE it!!! In fact, I should be cleaning but instead I am going to share this with you. So pretend like you like it =)
Ikea kids table turned super awesome kids table!!!
Here is what it used to look like. Ugly wood (that has been colored all over) and plain boring white top.
Don't mind the breakfast of champions there...Daddy is responsible for that one ;o)
Look at that bad boy now! Woo hoo, I LOVE it =)
We took it apart, and spray painted the wood pieces Antique White. Andy painted the top with chalk board paint, and asked me to figure out what to do with the chairs. Silly man thought I would pick a color and paint them...when have I ever done anything the easy way ;o)
The chairs were actually EXTREMELY easy! Before putting the chair back together I padded it with a few sheets of quilt batting (hot glue). Then I cut my fabric, positioned it in an attempt to keep the lines straight, then flipped the seat bottom over. I just pulled the fabric tight and attached it to the bottom using a LOT of hot glue. I really like hot glue =) Put the chair back together as normal and voila! A comfy padded chair to go with their awesome "new" chalkboard table.
The boys think it's awesome and so do I!
Supplies and Cost -
Original table and chairs set - $19.99
2 Cans of Spray Paint - $8
Quilt batting - $3ish (but I only used 1/8 package)
Fabric ~ $6/yard (only used 1/8-1/4)
Glue gun and glue sticks- already had
I love it! Really so cute and fun!!

ReplyDeleteSUPER SUPER CUTE!
ReplyDeleteJoe has been wanting a kids table for Milo- this may have just motivated me to get one.
ReplyDeleteThanks again everyone!
ReplyDeleteTracy you totally should =) this one is only 20 at Ikea. I love that I can redo it so many ways...I already decided when I am tired of the chalkboard top it would be cute to repaint and stencil their names... or since we use it to feed them sometimes, maybe paint some "placemats".
