Small Living Spaces: Chic Dining Update Under $450

Since we have been at home so much and eating all of our meals here, I decided it would be really nice if we had an actual area designated to, well… eat! Our apartment has an open layout so the kitchen is open to the living room and everything is just one big space. We have a high table with bar stools but never use it to eat and it has ended up just a catch-all table over the years. I wanted to make a change and refresh the space because every meal was getting consumed in front of our tv on the couch – which normally wasn’t a big deal because we would only eat at home a few days out of the week but now… it’s not flying with me! So I hopped on Amazon and got to shopping for the perfect small space dining arrangement to tie our apartment together and create an enjoyable eating space.

Retro Table

This was the hardest for me to find in an affordable form. I really wanted a white top table with a golden metal base, but all of the golden ones were ridiculously expensive. That’s when I felt the crafty DIY itch and decided to order an all-white option, which is much more affordable I might add – and paint the base myself. This was super easy to do as the table arrived in a box deconstructed so I was able to paint the base and stand before putting the table together. Honestly, I was very impressed with the finished result. It looks so updated and much more high-end than the plain white version and was only 6$ to paint and update!
