ocassional craftiness

I moved into a new apartment this summer and in doing so gained an extra 300 sq ft. I was scrambling to piece together how I would utilize the space; searching Craigslist and Etsy and design blogs for ideas. Ultimately I decided to take the next step into adulthood and add a dining room table to my collection. Hello no more eating on the coffee table (don’t judge now, we’ve all been there).

Being a twenty-something on a budget I started to look at vintage stores around the city in the hopes of finding a glass top table I could refurnish. My grandmother had passed down to me 4 chairs that were once part of an ice cream shoppe set and thought that they would be quite lovely in my new space. So, in an attempt at craftiness (that I think turned out quite well) I have proudly completed my first before and after!
