I found this darling dining set in an unloved corner of Goodwill. It was just what a client was looking for.
It was a well built mid century set made of maple by Mainewoods furniture.
All of the pieces received a good scrubbing and light sanding.
Other than one area on the tabletop that needed a bit of wood filler, it was in amazing shape.
I always begin by painting my pieces up side down. Then I give them a day…or two depending on my schedule… to dry before flipping them over to do the top. This insures that the most viewed angle stays smudge and chip free.
I used Valspar Naivete White flat spray Paint. It was the exact shade of white I was looking for. Soft and pretty.
The finish was impeccable. I think it really does boil down to the prep work.
The table was simply dressed with placemats, napkins and plates from HomeGoods. The chair pads came from Anna’s Linens.
On Wednesday I will share the adjoining space which was decorated on a budget.
Have you rescued any unloved furniture lately?

It's so beautiful now with that white paint Laura, I'm sure your client will enjoy this for years to come!

Love how it turned out! The white is perfect.
Very pretty! I like the blue accents with it.
I was given some very wise advice about painting once upon a time. Start the paint job where it will be seen last, first. It's never failed me yet! 🙂
Wow. I love that. Like the painting tips too. We're thinking about painting a coffee table we've had since the 1960s.
Hi Laura! Oh, I love how the little table and chairs turned out! I didn't realize there was a flat finish spray paint! Looks like it came from the factory.
Hope you're doing well.
Be a sweetie,Shelia 😉
Well, I just did a yakabout about some rescued living room lamps from the thrift store so that counts, I think. I also just redid a desk for my den yesterday. It wasn't rescued from the thrift store, though. It was rescued from the attic where it has been living for about 20 years. It was maple, too, and probably from the same time period.
I really love yours. I'm sort of a white freak. The peek into the adjacent room is so pretty too.
The set is so pretty, Laura. How talented you are!
