Dinning Room Makeover and Updating a Table

I told you in my last post that I would be posting pictures from my 2nd house.  Here are some from the dining room...please remember that these photos are 2 and 3 years old (depending on the picture) and I didn't take them for blogging so the quality may not be the best.  

This is the dinning room in my 2nd house.  The picture was taken a few days before we bought the house.  The opening on the right leads to the kitchen.  Look at the ugly chandelier...

I bought a beautiful black distressed china cabinet for the wall on the right at the French Bee in Phoenix and was on the hunt for the perfect table.  A month or two passed without any luck on a table and I decided to make my kitchen table work in the dining room (and buy a new kitchen table).  

This is a picture of one of the chairs after I removed the seat and completely sanded it.  Sorry for not having before pictures.  

I painted and distressed all four of the chairs, put a finishing coat on them and covered the seats with new fabric.  

During this time we also painted stripes on the dining room walls and put up a chair rail around the room.  The picture below is before I put the seat part back on the chairs.

Now you can see the china cabinet that I got at the French Bee in the right side of the photo.  

Below is the dinning room in it's finished form...seat cushions on chairs, window treatment hung, pictures on the wall and new chandelier up.  Did I mention that I got the chandelier for free?!?
