Regardless of whether the table was wrong or right for the house, 99% of the time I am against painting wood, bricks, rocks, stones, metal, etc. I like natural things to stay, well, natural so they can be appreciated as such. Totally and entirely a subjective preference thing.
$500 was such a freaking deal for that large of a table too. Wow.
Yes, the stools are horrible and you bet back aches are gonna happen with any amount of time spent on them. Style and function are not impossible!
One of the things that really got me about the upstairs bedroom were the really, really poorly done window treatments. The 1/2 and 1/2 colored panels and the really really horrible "bow ties" on the cornices/valances were a real surprise coming from someone who'd actually made the finalists. Just, so bad.
