in the kitchen.

For a long while, I was dreaming of a white kitchen table and fun, colored chairs.  It’s always been a favorite look of mine.  And luckily with the internet and now, Pinterest . . . it’s pretty easy to find ideas.

However, with two little boys in my house I am not in the business of purchasing expensive furniture.   Luckily I found a great white round table from Ikea about a year ago [it’s surprisingly holding up quite well!]  And then came the search for kitchen chairs.   There were plenty of kitchen chairs that I loved that weren’t in my price range but after months of checking Craigs List, I gave up.  But then a few months later I decided to try Craigs List again and wa la!  I instantly found kitchen chairs for CHEAP.  And I bought them. 

I’m super indecisive so determining the chair paint color took way longer than it should have.  I found pictures of just about every chair color imaginable but kept coming back to these:

And so, I went for it.  I bought Wes the spray paint [Home Depot Paprika] and after we both sanded the heck out of the chairs, he painted them for me!   And I have to say, it makes a world of difference in my kitchen/family room area. It needed a little pop of color.  Now I’m dreaming of white kitchen cabinets & hardwood type floors – I’m pretty sure I’ll be dreaming for a long time . . .
