If any of you have ever painted your kitchen table and chairs, what type of paint did you use? Did it end up chipping and peeling off? I know I will have to sand it down before painting it, but I don't want to just use wall paint because I am pretty certain it will peel off quickly with daily use. Thanks :)

About 15 years ago I built my wife a table against the kitchen wall a put 4 stools around it. While I was at work she painted it with gloss black Rustoleum that I had in the shed. She even rubbed some stencils on it - then clear coated it. It has lasted through 9 kids and 8 grandkids. It hasn't peeled or chipped. There have been some instances with gouges and knife marks that she subsequently sanded and repainted. I'm impressed.

I am reupholstering 2 dining chairs and 3 bar stools?

They are all in the same room and are in fairly close proximity to each other. Should I cover them all in the same fabric? Or cover the dining chairs in a solid pattern, and the bar stools in a complementing fabric? Thanks
Answer
NavyBrat - I recently re-covered 6 kitchen chairs and 6 dining rom chairs. They are in separate rooms but visible to each other. I chose 2 different patterns with the same color profile. Different textures - the kitchen chairs have a much heavier texture tan the dining room chairs. I did a lot of shopping and found my fabric at a local remnant upholstery shop. I purchased 5 yards of fabric for $35. The original price on the fabric for the kitchen chairs was $30 per yard and the original price for the dining room fabric was $35 per yard. I do believe I got a great deal. 12 chair cushions for $35.
Same color profile - different pattern, different texture.
Good luck
