A few weeks ago I highlighted ten dining room table knock offs – all affordable ways to get a new dining table in time for the holidays without having to fork out a ton of money. You may have been nodding your head thinking you’d love a new dining room table but aren’t quite ready to take on a build-from-scratch furniture project yet. Well, my friends, I didn’t forget about you. Today I am sharing five different ways to make over your existing dining room set and take it from drab to fab before you host that big holiday meal!
