This is a Thomasville table with 8 chairs and three leaves. I picked up on craigslist. It was in solid sturdy working condition, but it was ugly. Layers of dark sticky wax and urethane, plus it had the backing of a felt table cloth sort of melted into it. It took a lot of sanding and stripping to reveal the gorgeous surface it was meant to have. A beautiful pattern emerged, I sealed it with 3 coats of lacquer and it still looks great. I painted the base the lightest gray and went to work on the 8 chairs. With all three leaves in place this set is nearly 9 feet long and 44 inches wide.
Inspiration
for this color pallet came from a painting of my daughter, painted by
my father.
I love looking at.
I
could look at it all day.
He
just completed a painting of my son and it's already inspiring some
color ideas for my office area.
