KC and I had a very productive weekend, where we re-vamped our downstairs laundry room into an extra living space, and spruced up some old crappy chairs and a table we had lying around.

The downstairs DIY started with changing the wall color from pukey-green (top left, below) to Almond Cream (omg, what about how that rhymes!)  I realize that it’s kind of hard to tell what color green our walls were from this picture, so just imagine a combination of avocado, seafoam, and vomit.  That’s pretty much it.

The chairs I refinished were two that were leftover from my last dining chair DIY, and the table was a crappy one from Target that I bought a thousand years ago and was getting zero use out of, since it was sitting in the farthest corner of our kitchen.

I decided the three pieces should get new life as a little bistro set:

I’ll show you how the transformation of our laundry room and table and chairs turned out (and how we did it) later this week!

PS: Power sander + painting = crazy sore triceps.  Workout of the future!
