Summer Spruce Up Projects - Table



This is really how all my grand slip covering craziness started. We got a new counter height table for our kitchen. We really needed a more comfortable place and more space to eat.

The table and stools were much more economical unfinished. So I painted them white. When the paint dried, I placed some brown kraft paper down the center to fashion an impromptu table-runner. And that simple piece of paper on the white table inspired me to make the decorating scheme more casual and neutral for the summer months.

Me and my bright ideas. . .

So we have how many things going on? And I decided to add one more thing to the chaos. I decided a few weeks ago that it would be a good idea to change curtains, slipcovers, etc for the summer months. The only problem is I didn't actually have these items to just "switch out." And because our furniture is old and oddly shaped, I just can't purchase a standard slip cover. See where this is going?
