Table for Two?

I've had this table and chairs in my possession for a couple years, but they use to live at my grandmothers house. I can remember being really young at her house and playing, painting and crafting at this table. Then we inherited and I had it in the nursery before Alexis was even born at the old house. Since we've moved we were able to keep it in her play room. But since we're making some changes and sprucing it up down there, I thought I could do a little something something to the table.  


I didn't want to paint the whole thing, as its too sentimental to me, so I thought I could add a little paint here and there and it would at least tie it in with the room.


The chairs have lots of old paint on them, and chips and nicks ... so this whole project wasn't going to have to be perfect by any means ...


First I used one of the letters I had cut out for the wall downstairs, then lightly traced it (I just used a pen) onto the chair seat.




Then just using some arcylic purple craft paint that I purchased at the dollar store, I filled in the letter.


The finished product looked something like this ...


and allllll together, the little table and chairs now looks like this ...



This weekend I'm just going to give the seat a quick spray of sealer so that the paint doesn't chip, and that's it.  I still plan on doing something to the table but haven't decided yet what exactly to do.
