I painted a table and chairs once....

Once upon a time, I painted a table and chairs.

And let it be known, that I intend for this to be the only time that I ever do this.
(I would maybe paint a table again, but chairs.....no way! Too many spindles and legs!)

I wanted this to be a paint job that could withstand a lot of use. So I used a heavy duty primer. A heavy duty paint. And did multiple coats of poly over the top.

Here's some pictures to show the progression:

BEFORE.

This was our previous table. I squeezed in between Landon and Tate on the bench. 

And THANK THE LORD! IT IS FINISHED!

This is how we have it set up for everyday use, but we could easily put more chairs (or our bench) around it to accommodate more food partakers.
