It's a Party! Met. Monday, Let There Be White, Blue Monday and my Birthday!

      It's a Party!!! Tomorrow is my birthday and in celebration I am doing a triple! Please visit these ladies wonderful blogs! Susan for Met Monday.

Sally for Blue Monday.

And on Tuesday, Kathleen for Let There Be White Part II.

The old dining room table had been needing a new look for a long time. I was wishing for a new one but then I had an idea! Maybe with some paint we could give this table and chairs a whole new look! Luckily, I have a hubby who loves to paint because each chair took about 3 hours to complete. He primed them first and then painted them a cottage white.

The before: Brown and boring and although I liked it once upon a time, it needed a face lift.

And the after! Amazing what paint will do! I am so happy with the new and improved old table and chairs. I am also participating in Let There be White with one color at Cuisine Kathleen's.

For my centerpiece, I am using a tea-pot with one blue hydrangea (real). The tea-pot was purchased for $1 at an auction and the little plate was a GW find. I am using a little white crocheted doily that belonged to my Grandma.

A candlestick that I had previously spray painted. (it was brass) Little target birdies and some votives finish out the look.

I've had these place mats for ever and ever. The plates are Myott Finlandia purchased from a garage sale and E-bay. The vintage silverware was a $1 a bag purchase at an Estate Sale. OOPS, forgot the salad forks! The napkins I love and they are paper to boot! I purchased these at TJ Maxx, and I think they work well with this china.

An early morning view with the sun shining in.

More sun, more viewing. LOL!

I love the look of my new/ old dining room table and chairs! Thanks honey!

Light the candles for a more romantic meal.

Thank-you for visiting my triple post! I have some celebrating to do! Happy Monday. Cindy
