The New and Improved Game Table

Hi Everyone!

Happy Friday loves!  I'm so happy the weekend is here.  We are off to the woods for our annual camping trip.  I've been looking forward to this all year and I cant wait to unwind rest a bit.

Earlier in this week I found these chairs on Craigslist

 

The seller listed them with a table as a set, but was willing to sell them to me without it for $35 for the lot!  I knew they would be the perfect chairs for the game table.  The lines were just what I had been looking for! Here's what the game table corner was looking like before the makeover:

 

 

 

After giving my new found beauties a new life, here were are now

 

 

 

 

I just love them!  I decided to go with black to help ground the space and bring in a bit of depth.  I like the idea of using black and white as neutrals amongst all the color and pattern I introduce into our home.  I've coveted this fabric from Ikea since I saw it release this year and I thought this would be the perfect space to introduce such a fun, whimsical print. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I really, really wanted to do something a bit different.  My dear friend Katrina says it gives the chairs a new life and is glad I didn't go with a stale,  "safe" choice. I couldn't agree more! 

 

I love that the chairs are a very classic, elegant design, but  I wanted to find a way to "loosen" em up a bit.  This fabric helps them not seem so "serious".  The cane was damaged on two of the chairs so I just cut it out of them and didn't replace it.  I kept the cane in the other two to help give it a more eclectic feel. 

 

You may have noticed the light is different, too.  When I went to pick up the fabric I found some colorful shades on clearance and I just couldn't pass them up.  I chose the yellow option.  I think its another little dose of fun!

 

 

 

This is such a happy space now!  Its full of color, pattern, and life.  Its such a great compliment to the new office corner and   I love that the kids now have a great place to play, read or do homework

 

 

 

 

 

I love how everything is coming together!  Now if I can just get my hands on a new sofa....

So, have you revamped any furniture lately?  Added any unexpected elements to your space?  Id love to hear.  Have a great weekend my friends.  Until next time....
