Thank you all so much for your response to my question about painting my furniture. So many of you left me a comment and I felt like I had my own personal interior design team! The consensus was overwhleming in favor of white. So I followed your advice and here it is. Sorry about the quality of the photo. It is very dull today and I didn't want to use a flash.
I am using my old blue check cloth until I can make something else and I gathered a few things from around the house that feel like spring. I am looking forward to spring arriving so while I'm waiting I'll use fake flowers for some more color. Just a nice soft spring look.
I can easily change the whole look next time by adding red, or all yellow, or green, or black & white or...
I'm so happy with how it turned out. You were right about the white. It means a lot to me that you care enough to take the time to leave a comment and express your opinion. Thank you so much. You are the greatest!!

HI Rhondi
ReplyDeleteOh, your set turned out beautiful! I think it ties together so much better - don't you? Love the differemt chairs together. Your kitchen looks so cheery, great job - well done.
Blessings
It turned out perfect Rhondi!
ReplyDeleteIt's perfect in your kitchen. Your "gathering" is so pretty - you have such a talent.
ReplyDeleteRhondi,
ReplyDeleteHave had two busy weeks and not been able to blog hop much until today. I love the white! I love white to begin with, but the white table and chair looking out to the view is beautiful. So soothing. I also like you knew header. Those bottles just sparkle and make me smile. But then so did you pretty blue an white dishes. You have to promise to use them in a tablescape on your new white dinning set so I can see them again! You did an amazing job painting. I could just sit there all day and look outside. Such a soothing, peaceful room to be in. Lucky you!
Love your gorgeous table and chairs and the white was just perfect. Beautiful. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteA beautiful transformation indeed! I hope you will share you painting process with us. I have imprinted chairs just like your and have often thought of painting them. I have considered painting my pedastal table, but the wood grain is remarkable...It would be a tough decision. ~Kelly

Dear Rhondi,
ReplyDeleteI didn't have a chance to chime in on the paint project but you have a total winner in the all white! I am inspired (again) to head on down to my garage and work on my huge table once again. It's almost warm enough today to be comfortable.
Rhondi....It looks wonderful! The room and area is so bright and cheerful! What a feast for the eyes during this cold drab time of the year!~Patti
ReplyDeletePerfection! I knew it would be. :)
ReplyDeletelove it! jealous too. what a wonderful room!
ReplyDeleteIt is sheer perfection! I saw that pretty blue cat right way in the first photo....your home is so lovely. That brick floor is gorgeous too...I noticed it when I enlarged the picture. I've always wanted a brick floor like that...
ReplyDeleteSo glad you took "OUR" advise. Now how about you come over and do mine.. Yours look perfect!
ReplyDeleteSheer perfection, Rhondi! The "bloggers" spoke and I think it's absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBrenda
It turned out *beautiful*!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, you are quick! How did you get all the pieces primed, painted and dried so fast? It looks wonderful!!!
ReplyDeleteRhondi, Thank you for the sweet comment you left on my blog :) The blogging world has such wonderful people such as you. I have enjoyed your blog for a long time. The painted furniture is gorgeous and your quilts are beautiful works of art!
ReplyDeleteBlessings & Hugs,
Donna
Turned out great! You can't go wrong with white, I don't think.
ReplyDeleteAnd btw, I was sitting outside this morning imagining how I'm going to hang all my spring flowers.
It's funny. When it's winter, we want spring. When it's spring, we want summer and when it's summer, we can't wait for fall.
I set reflecting how wonderful it is that God created seasonal diversity.
P.S. I learned to make meatless chili and peanut butter cookies. Um, the peanut butter cookies didn't turn out so well. They looked sort of ugly and I used Splenda and not real sugar, which I suspect had something to do with it. What do you think?
Hi Rhondi,
ReplyDeleteOur table is very similar and hubby painted it white last summer too! Love it, you have such a great decorating touch! I adore all your blue and white, it's so much my fave! I am so glad I stopped by, sometimes I forget who is who, since I follow like 9 million blogs now! Hugs, Cindy
It looks so great! I just love it!
ReplyDeleteIt looks awesome!!!

Rhondi, your set is beautiful! Thanks so much for including us in your decision making. It was really fun. I'm so happy it turned out so well. I can't wait to see what you make to accessorize. Everything you do is just lovely. I'm a bit behind. I'm still hand-quilting the topper I made for the fall! Oh well, I'll be ready for next year. Have a great week. Hugs, Terri
ReplyDeleteRhondi, I could just move right into your home. I love blue and white and yellow. I have that same blue and white cat, and have had her for about thirty years. Your home is lovely.
ReplyDeleteKaren
Your table is a neutral with which to play with all your beautiful displays and will be a wonderful inspiration to you.
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful, Rhondi! So crisp and clean and spring-like! Love it.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Donna
I agree with everyone else that the white paint was perfect! And it is just in time for white wednesday! I'll be linking up with you for this event.
ReplyDeleteKathy b http://kbbryant.wordpress.com
sooooo glad you went with white. it looks PERfect!
ReplyDeleteI love the photo of your happy table with pouring rain in the background!
ReplyDeleteAnd your floral yellow accents. In our blue and white rooms, we used some yellow, but mostly fushias. In pillows.
Actually I really liked your picture. It looks like its pouring on the outside and then with the yellow wall and the flowers in looks cheery and bright inside. :)
ReplyDeleteErika
The chairs look great!!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend Rhondi~~~trying to check in on my blogging friends~~
Home sick this week.. so I have had time to read and catch up :)
