Dining room update
10 years ago
We sold our old dining room set for $340 and used that money(plus $170 out of pocket) to redesign the space. I built the dinning table with framing lumber - $90. The storage banquet was built mostly using scraps of building materials I had left over from previous projects and a few pieces of flat trim to create the panelled look - $40. The bench cushions are a couple of outdoor lounge chair cushions came already scotch guarded in a nice tan outdoor fabric. Perfect for the occasional spill. They were on clearance at Target - $30 for both. I found the large canvas at Home Outfitters for $100. We splurged on the acrylic Tobias chairs from Ikea at $100 a piece but happened to have a $50off coupon to help offset that cost.
