Kid Table makeover


 Sooo about 2 years ago
I was at a garage sale (and a couple more since than...)
and a family had a bunch of
broken/damaged
kids items that were easily fixable.

I picked up this this table that
was in the "FREE"
pile and took it home...
and let it sit in the garage ever since...
(It sat there so long that Shaun thought it was garbage 
and we almost had 
a horrible end to this story)

In our last house we didnt have
a "Playroom" per say...
the kiddos toys were in
the corner of the family room, which was very convenient
since they were both very little,
and did not need a ton of room to run and jump etc.

This next house we buy will
hopefully have an area for toys!

Anyway, back to the table....
this table has become the main design 
inspiration for a future playroom.

This is the plan:
Color scheme-Red, Turquoise, Gray
Main Furniture pieces- teepee , metal kids table w 2 chairs...
it will be industrial design, meets vintage, meets  eclectic

I found the red chevron fabric at a Joanns store 
that was moving to a different location, and 
had everything on close-out prices.
BEFORE: torn plastic, horribly ugly colors and print...I think I had a shirt that looked like this in the '80s


AFTER: new fabric, new plastic covering, new paint!


Cost break Down:
Fabric-Joann fabric closeout sale chevron print(50% off + 30% off) = $ 3.50/yard

Plastic covering (50% off + 30% off) = $1.75/yard

Spray Paint- Rustoleum metal color $4 at walmart

TOTAL COST = $9.25
