About a year ago we inherited a dining table from my husband's grandma. It is a dark cherry wood. It is a bit formal for me, but I like that it had a leaf to enlarge the table, and cushions to recover. The table we had previous was a cute round table with country chairs. It was a bit too country for me. When we got the table I knew eventually I would want to recover the seat cushions. They did match our decor, but were a bit stained and faded. I looked at all sorts of fabric stores for cute outdoor fabric. I wanted it to be durable and easy to wipe off (all the qualities of outdoor fabric). I knew I wanted a black and white pattern, but did not find any I liked at the price I could afford. I was ecstatic when I stumbled upon an adorable tablecloth at Target that was the exact pattern I wanted, the durability and thickness I needed, and the right amount of fabric. It was all for the price of $19.99. After a few weeks of using as an actual tablecloth I recovered the chairs and I love the results!
Now this summer I hope to paint just the table black. It is in need of tlc.
