One day last week I was driving home from the gym and when I pulled in the neighborhood someone had all their furniture out on the lawn.
I was unsure if they were installing new carpet or getting evicted.
I did a slowwwww drive by and spotted a price tag on a dining room table, obviously I had to stop.
You can't beat only having to haul it half a mile.
My previous table only sat 4 and I really needed 6 chairs.
After dragging it home I hightailed it to Home Depot {my husband may have threatened my life if I didn't get it done over the weekend. He's weird about the garage being all filled up with my projects.}
I SWEAR to you I was going with an open mind.
My original plan was to do a grey table with white chairs.
BUT after standing in front of all those pretty paint chips, I just couldn't ignore what my heart was telling me.
Yes, it's pink, well watermelon actually.
I have no defense, don't judge me, I love color.
Helpful tip: When spray painting 6 chairs in the yard make sure your husbands BLACK truck isn't getting any blow back. Oops.
I painted {3.5 coats!} on the table, spray painted and covered the chairs, all in a weekend.
My right hand is killing me and I have a blister from the staple gun.
The things I do for my husband a pretty table!
Bambina told me she loves it.
You want to know the one thing in the room my Husband hates?
The bench under the window.
Seriously, I have a pink dining room table overlooked by a cross dressing deer and THAT'S what bothers you??
Happy Hump Day!
*the stencil on the wall is from Cutting Edge Stencils, love them!

You seriously have the BEST decor!!!! Maybe one year I should save up and play "house" dress up in the summer. I never see that happening, but a girl can dream.
So colorful!! My husband lets me get away with a lot but I don't know if I could do a pink table. My daughter would definitely love it!! She said she wanted a pink house one day (after seeing a small pink, purple and teal house in town). I told her we'll have to build her something some day...
I think that table looks great. You did a great job, Your house is so cute! love your style.
How fun! Love the color!
LOVE it! I, too, find myself drawn to pink, no matter how hard I try to deny it! Makes the whole room look much bigger, somehow.
how flippin fun is that! everything is bigger in texas, isn't it? ;)
So, what happens to the old table?!
Love the new one!! I am getting a hand-me-down table this weekend, and I PRAY I can pull off an awesome color/design for it.
Megan... Your a trip! I love your country/shabby chic design!!
Love it! It looks great in the space :)
Wow, I LOVE it! I cannot believe your husband lets you put those colors in your house, mine would kill me! I'm super impressed that you can get all of that done in one weekend. We're lucky if we can get a room painted in a weekend!! I really need you to come to Indiana and help me decorate my living room (we'd just have to stay away from the girly colors, boo!)
I would never have thought to choose that color, but I loves it!!! That deer cracks me up. And why in the world does that bench bother him?! You have a gift. Everything you do turns out FABULOUS!!!
I wish I had your skill! Did you cover the chairs yourself? I laughed out loud when I read that you husband hates the bench. That is the first thing I noticed when I saw the room. I love it!
How could that table not be awesome, it's PINK!!!!! I love your dining room, I wish I had that decorating sense. Sah-weet!
Can you come to my house and work your magic? I love how the chairs turned out, the fabric is awesome!
Bambino has some good taste - the dining room table turned out magnificent. Your eye for color and decor is awesome.
I am soooo jealous of your decorating skills!! Your house and projects are beautiful!! Loves it all!!
Looks great! & thanks for the link to the stencil ... I want to try and do this in our dining room!
That is a nice size table! I can't believe you got it all done in one weekend! No wonder your hand hurts. I think it is time to paint the inside back of your hutch to match the pink table :)
WOW!!!! I'm floored. That's gorgeous!!! I'm in the market for a new table- you've inspired me to fix one up myself!
I seriously wish I could do all of that!! Esp in one weekend!!! I really do not understand how you do it all!! It looks awesome! (and hope your hubby's truck made it out without major damage!) :-/
In love with your dining room!
Srsly!
I love your dining room!

You are SO funny! The bench! I love what you did with the table and chairs, I know you are loving a larger table. Great job!

I LOVE this!! Want to come to Indiana and decorate my house? I love color, but tend to shy away from decorating with it our of fear. My house is currently full of a lot of black and white with touches of teal.
I LOVE this!! You need to come to Indiana and decorate my house! I'm currently full of a lot of black and white with hints of teal. I love color, but tend to shy away from in it fear. You're decorating style (and personality) rocks!!
Hahaha, I love that your husband's one thing he dislikes is the bench. Classic! Love that happy table. Looks very ready for a dinner party :)
Question, I want to redo our table. DO you need to sand everything before you paint? and do you put a bottom and top coat on? (sounds like we are doing nails, ha)
YOU ARE AWESOMEEEE
