Paint And Use Oilcloth On Folding Chairs & A Folding Table, step by step

When Jamie and Carmen sent their remarkable table and chair makeover our way we could not wait to share their fresh little redo! Here is their letter:

Hello The house team! My mom and I consistently find inspiration on your journal (I purchased the Target chair after seeing it in your living room and also have used your paint colors as a guide- plus I enjoy that you have a room-by-room source list – quite helpful!), so we thought we’d put our inspiration to the test with a table and chair makeover project. We needed something eye-catching for an outdoor craft show we were participating in this summer. My mom’s poor card table from the 1970’s simply was not going to cut it. So we found some fabulous oilcloth from the local fabric store and a fantastic paint color to match (Watermelon by Krylon, indoor/outdoor all purpose spray paint). I think it was a success since people at the craft show were interested in purchasing our table and chairs (but we were not offering that for sale)! Here are more instructions on how we completed the makeover. And a big thank you for working so hard to share all of your design ideas, you folks are a wealth of information! Enjoy! – Jamie (City Chic) & Carmen (Country Mouse)

Does not this little table and chair makeover simply make you smile? We enjoy the hefty dose of glad that they doled out for their old seen-better-days set. Do you folks have any go-to uses for oilcloth? Anyone planning to attempt this quite project on their own card table and chairs now that you’ve seen how lovely it can look? Thanks so much for sending the yummy pics our way Jamie and Carmen! We know we cannot be the only ones feeling inspired by the oilcloth eye candy…
