Craigslist Makeover: Play Table and Chairs

How much are we loving this beautiful set of table and chairs? So much that we're kind of jealous that our knees would bump the underside of the table. Want a similar set for your own little ones? All you need is a twenty-dollar bill, some paint, and a bit of thrifting karma.

 
 

Jennifer did this makeover so that her little boy would have his own play area at one end of her dining room. She found the full-height table on Craigslist for $20, then cut it down to size and spraypainted it. She already had the vintage school chairs, but they needed some TLC in the form of repainting their supports in lovely shades of green and blue.
