Before & After: Dining Table Makeover

Our dining area in our small eat-in kitchen is a challenge to get just the right-sized table for.

We'd first bought an awesome mahagony table off Craigslist for just $40... and it ended up being way too big.

So we snatched this table up when we saw it at the thrift store. It was priced higher than I wanted to pay for a rinky-dink table like this, even on sale, but it was the right size for the space.

My husband chose to remedy the yellow/orange wood with a coat of dark stain on the top using an all-in-one stain/poly, and spray-painted the base white. Now we have a perfectly-sized little table, and we didn't have to sacrifice looks to do it.
