I can now sit and ponder life...

My table has been painted and installed and now I can sit and eat, study, play games or just ponder life.  I love it!!

I painted the top of the table because it was really rough and a baby blue color that just didn't fit.  I was a bit fearful that painting it would make it too easy to get scraped up from everyday use so I put six coats of polyurethane on it.  LOL maybe a bit excessive but I feel better.

Before

After 

I also changed the old leg out and added supports to it and put a stabilizer for it on the floor.  I am really happy with the end results. 

I was able to finally cut the holes bigger in the cabinet front I made over the dinette.  Then I was able to put the doors on.....It looks so classic!!

Ok so I ran into a bit of a problem...my pattern choices are a a tad too bold and are competing with each other.  I love the cushions and not willing to change them so I decided the only choice is throw rugs and possibly solid color pillows and curtains.  Stay tuned to see how that makes a difference to this...

Ugh I am not happy but I will figure it out!

I can see the light at the end...

Rosie is coming along.  

LOL I think I put the cart before the horse.  I was so ready to get the tile in after I painted that I tried putting it over the old yucky black glue that held the original linoleum....it didn't work but it looked pretty.  

So then I had to use some elbow grease which wasn't getting me very far.  This little patch took almost two hours to do...

Well that just wasn't going to work.  I decided if I wet some towels and placed it over the glue that it wouldn't soak the floor and ruin the 48 year old plywood floor.  

Finally it worked too Yay!!  But it was messy yuck!

This week I will start laying the tile after the floor is completely dry.  Then the benches will go in and I will be very close to completion!!

I was also able to attach the shelves I made behind the cabinet I also made....LOL I am sort of proud of it!!  The black arm thing is my TV mount...Rosie is uptown now!!

After a long day of working Miss Diana needed me to sit so she could relax.  She had a rough day of sleeping and eating you know.
