Dining Table

After a year of wanting a new table, I finally found one that suits my style and my wallet.  This table was made by Crate & Barrel.  I got it at a tent sale with a leaf (and some very small imperfections) for $150!  

Now that I have a table, I have to decide how to redo the chairs to match or contrast.

Dining Chairs Preview

I have a set of six of these dining chairs.  They are hand-me-downs that have been reworked before (they originally had rush seats), but I think they may still have some potential.  Although it isn't ideal for me to have upholstered dining seats with little kids around, I would rather redo these than buy a whole new set of six chairs right now.  

I have already glued felt circles to the bottoms of the legs like so:
My next part of the plan is to remove the seats, paint them black, and redo the upholstery.  

I am currently on the lookout for a great deal on foam and upholstery fabric!
