Question: ah i've gotten addicited to old vintage things lately and i really would like to learn how to redo things myself!! Do you have any ideas on redoing this table and chair? McKenna
Mckenna sent me this fun question & Great picture of a Kitchen Table & Chairs she was GIVEN to put in her home, being as she is a new Bride. Don't you just LOVE being handed such a great piece of Furniture that you can make your own?? 
Could I ever have fun with this set.. Whatever you do, I would KEEP the BLACK as a under-coat.. It would be absolutely Charming to paint (over the black) a Rich CREAM color..
Then...... after is has dried... ""Beat the heck our of it", okay maybe not Beat, but sand those edges to bring back the Black so it looks worn & vintage.
Don't you all love that natural wood top exposed.
  If you want to go BOLD choose another color you LOVE.. Remember it is just paint, you can change it within minutes..
Then there are the CHAIRS, ohhh the Chairs...
 I would totally paint each chair a different color & Shabby it up the same way. I can imagine a light Green, Blue, Yellow & maybe a Red..
I fell in Love with this look years ago when I saw pictures of Michael Jacksons Kitchen Table that was surrounded with different Style of chairs & all different Colors..
 Let your imagination run wild..
 
Isn't that WING chair at the head of the Table just the "Bomb"?
Now go have some FUN. We all want to see how you add Charm & Yummie-ness to your kitchen.
DONE DONE & DONE !!!!!
Mckenna just finished her Table & Chairs.
 She did an Incredible JOB..
