Dining furniture makeover
For the dining area, I wanted a table and chairs reminiscent of Crate & Barrel, like their Avalon Extension Dining Table and Vintner Chairs. I found this light wood table by Handley in a similar shape, and the Mayberry Street chairs were originally mahogany with upholstered seats. I removed the cushions and sanded and sanded and sanded to get the glue off the wood. What a workout! What I like most about these chairs is that they have a curve to them; the back isn't straight up and down. Real life chairs are angled like these, whereas most of the dollhouse chairs I've seen are straight-backed. The chairs will need further sanding and another coat of paint (and I need to make the tie-on cushions) but the set is turning out very similar to the Crate & Barrel example.
