At first I thought about doing the work myself and just paint her, but I'm to scare to dive in :-( .....so she will be going in for her face lift ;-) I have chosen a white paint with an antiquing glaze and gold highlights......the four french chair you see in the pic, I'm not sure about yet and if I do decide to paint them I could do that myself as I have painted chairs in the past and had great results.....any who friends she will be at the furniture doctor getting her well deserved face lift as of next week and will be there for three weeks! Wow that's a long time :-( but as long as she comes out beautiful I won't mind ;-)
These deep scratches are on one end of my dining room table :-( they are so ugly! I just can't stand to look at them any longer, due to these scratches I have decided to have her repaired professionally ;-)
I'm really excited to see how she will turn out! Keep your toes cross my friends! Till next time ;-)

I think she is pretty right now Mari... but if you think she needs a facelift, I hope she turns out stunning!... such pretty chairs too!... gold highlights sound gorgeous!... xoxo Julie Marie
Hi Mari,
I adore your table and chairs..
I think they would be beautiful painted or not...
I love the curves in the chairs. I can picture them antique white.
Let us know what the end result is. I say, if you want to paint, go for it!

What a beautiful setting, but I think it will look stunning once it's painted especially in the tones you mentioned. Looking forward to seeing the 'after'.. take care, Maryann
Dearest Mari,
It certainly depends on the water stains and such for actually painting such a beautiful table over. But that's up to you of course!
I will never ever paint any of my solid oak furniture!
But I must say that the professional painters did do our teak table and chaise and it never has looked prettier in white! We did it for the same reason, it looked bad in its natural stage.
Hugs and blessings,
Mariette
Hi Mari,
Your table and chairs are so beautiful, I too love the curves, just lovely. I know sometimes is hard to paint wood. But, I think it will look so gorgeous in the white with the gold, I can't wait to see it. I'm sure you will do a great job with the chairs too.
Blessing,
Marlene
Hi Mari, Your table will be gorgeous when finished. It is already a wonderful set but with the updates you are going to fall in love all over again with it. Can't wait to see the finish. I know you are really excited!!
Have fun and I hope the 3 weeks goes by fast for you.
Thanks for sharing your project.
Hugs!!
Go for it! I painted my old oval dining room table with chalk paint-- or I should say Pink Boy did, and it looks so much better. Lightens whole room.
Thank you ladies for your advice, you all have help me feel better about having my dining room table refinished, so off she went last night for her well needed face lift, i will keep you posted and as soon as she is back home I will show you how she turned out ;-)
