I have always wanted a farmhouse dining room. When we moved into this rental home last year I began to get a vision for how wanted it to look. First, I knew I wanted Modern farmhouse style and I wanted a black hutch. Secondly, I knew I didn’t have the money to buy brand new furniture.
We have owned our dining room table for 10 years now and the dark cherry color was not going to fit with a farmhouse dining room. Since I couldn’t afford a new table and I knew that it didn’t fit the farmhouse style, my next option was to re-do it. My husband was skeptical about me redoing the table as I had never redone something that large, only smaller pieces. However, he finally relented and let me take a go at it.
I stripped and sanded the table and refinished in a weather gray stay for a modern farmhouse look. The hutch and chairs are painted in black chalk to tie in with each other.
