When I came across this little tile top table and 4 chairs on the Marketplace for $30, I knew it’d be perfect for our oldest son’s apartment.  Other than some chipping in the paint, it was in really good condition and very sturdy.  Wanting to update the style, we completely removed the tile top, but kept the base.  Everything was given a good sanding to remove any chippy paint.  I used a glaze to give it a bit of an aged finish and my husband cut planks to make a new table top.  The chairs were stained to match the new top and once dry, we distressed and sealed it with a water based polyurethane.  And sweet Madison approves!
