DIY: Painted Table & Chairs Makeover

So I got this free table off of Gumtree (like a craigslist/kijiji but in Australia), late last year, just as an extra table for our old place. I've always had ideas around painting and revamping it but it wasn't in bad shape and still looked decent so just never got around to it. Finally the day came, a few weeks ago, where I was really motivated to give this thing a makeover! 

I got some inspiration from a collection, I saw in a Home Beautiful Magazine, by Swedish designer Per Söderberg. The table had a dark top and yellow legs and I immediately loved it! 

Went to the local hardware store, stood in front of the paint samples for ages (with a boyfriend, growing very impatient, wandering around the store), I finally decided on a light, bright yellow for the legs and a grey for the top. I really should have went and chose the fabric for the chairs first but I chose it after getting the paint and lucky for me I came across this lovely yellow and white chevron, velvety fabric that was a great match. 

I'm not going to do a how-to as there are so tutorials out there already (like this one). I just wanted to show off my new set of table and chairs and perhaps give you guys some ideas for your next painting project! After a few coats of paint (I realized how painful it is to paint chairs haha) and staples here and there, and taa daaa, I sooo happy with the way it turned out!! Even Shane was impressed! ;)
