What a fun time with the scavenger hunt! It’s going on for the next week so if you’re interested in seeing what the buzz is all about, here’s the link:
Now, back to showing off! Katie has some pretty great DIY projects and hosts a Trash to Treasure party on Saturdays AND she has a giveaway going on! Whew. She keeps busy!
Here are some projects from her blog. Visit her to check out more at
And here is her post about her beautiful dining room table transformation:
I DID IT!!! I finally finished my table. BAD news, it only took me two months : GOOD news I DONT CARE, IT’S DONE!! Josh and I ate our first meal [of course Sushi] on it the other night. We were so giddy & happy the whole time we were eating:) Okay ENOUGH blabber, on to the REDO:
I’m a dork & forgot to snap a pic of the my table before, this table is almost EXACTLY like the one I have :
The first coat on the table :
I wanted to do something a little different on the legs & chairs. I took black paint and scrubbed it down on the legs… Here’s the Before :
[how it really looks]
Next, I wanted to be even more drastic & different so I started nailing upholstery nails around the table….yep all 150+ of them, BY HAND!
SO, Here’s the big FINALE :
I’m ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE with my table! BIG THANKS to my husband for his AWESOME support.
Great job Katie! Your table looks gorgeous and your dining room is so pretty! I love it!

I would have never thought of the upholstery tacks! Great idea!
this is a great after!
I need to do just that with the table my in-laws gave us. but mine need upholstery (sp?) too
Thanks for the visit! Love the table- never would have thought of the nailhead trim there!
Glad to hear the Scavenger hunt is still going on- I thought I missed it!
Love the nailhead trim, I just did a project with it myself, but used the strips instead. I'll be posting it soon, but for those who want to work with the strips, I found that they don't look as nice as the one here.
Cute cute I totally love that table! Wish I had a spot for a big one like that…. 🙁
The trim really makes it extra special–looks great!
LOVE the table, LOVE The nail heads and I want/need the napkins.
Very cute. Good job. I love the trendy color and your place settings are beautiful as well. The upholstery tacks add just the right amount of character I think. Good job!
Looks great! Sanding and painting chairs is so much work, but always worth the finished product.

Love the nail head idea!
