Thanks Craig. You're Quite the Problem Solver!

We needed a table for our newly finished basement. 
Problem:  No money in the budget
Solution: Good Ole' Craigslist

I recently found a posting on Craigslist for an antique dining room table with 4 small chairs = $85. I emailed the owner and it was still available! SOLD! I drove to Roselle the following morning to buy this beauty! It needed  a little TLC and it is PERFECT for our basement! 

After a quick trip to the fabric store I was ready to recover these nasty cushions!

The table itself is in pretty good condition.  It's "antique" so flaws just add character! ;-)

What a difference a little pop of color makes in a room! I am so happy with the way it turned out! Add some beautiful tulips in my Grandmother's pitcher and it makes the room just perfect!
