DIY Project #1 of 32453

Does this table and chair set look familiar to any of our IU friends?

It should, because it used to belong in Lora and Patrick's home in Bloomington. Except then the table top and chair seats were wood, and everything else was painted sage green.

We bought it from Lora and Patrick last weekend, and then Josh sanded it down and painted it black to match our bar stools. He did a really nice job!

Used table and chairs: $50
Paint: $15
Total: $65

(Cheap) new table set we had our eye on: $400

DIY Savings: $335

Don't you just love saving money! It's amazing the things you can buy/get a whole lot cheaper once you start looking and asking around. We've furnished much of our home that way :)
