Is there anything I won't paint

The title of this post makes me laugh.  While my hubby has been gone out of town on business, I took the opportunity to paint my kitchen table.  I have been thinking about it for a while now.  All the finish was coming off, and it just looked old.  I had to put a table cloth over it just to hide the ugly top.

I sanded the top and legs with very rough sand paper.  Then I cleaned it off really good and rubbed a product called liquid sand that I swear by.  I have painted a lot, and I mean a lot of cabinets and furniture in my day, and the paint sticks onto this product so well that there is never any chippage.  I used a good enamel wall paint, the same black I used to paint my island and range hood.  Then I went to painting the chairs.  Not quite so fun.  I prepped them the same way, but I wanted them a different color.  I first painted them a mocha color I have on my hutch, but it just didn't look quite right.  I decided to paint the red over it, and I loved it. I was the most nervous about chipping paint on the legs as they banged each other and the table.  I decided to distress the heck out of them to make them look old anyways.  Why not. I finished up with three coats of poly just to make sure we can actually eat on it.   Here is the finished product.  I still need to put my centerpiece on it and a runner, but I am waiting to make sure it is good and dry.  It was a fun project, and only took me a couple of days.  Not bad at all. 

By the way, the reason I titled this post the way I did, was because of my dear family.  I called my hubby and he laughed and said he wasn't surprised I was painting the table.  He said there is probably nothing I wouldn't put a coat of paint on.  Hmmmm.....maybe, maybe not.
