Dining table redo/decor question.

Hello ladies, I recently got this very good deal on a yard sale for my dining table and I'm kind of wondering what you would place as a center piece. Mind you I may change the color as the current color is a bit worned out and I'm aiming more for a dark brown color and maybe redo the seat covers.

Below are two angle shots of the dining table: TIA

I always just keep a bowl of fruit or fresh flowers on mine.

Btw, I'd paint that black or white or a color, but not brown. Brown paint never looks cute.

It definitely needs a refresh. I think that will help you style it. If you paint it, I would go with near black, oil base and make sure you prep first. If it is wood, I would also consider a dark stain. I personally like the minwax Kona stain, I used it on my banister.

 The cushions seem to be in good shape,but they are a bit outdated as well. I would go with a neutral microfiber.

Thank you! I was more aiming towards this dark brown color.

I may go with black, I'm not a big fan of white furniture.

While the table and chairs in that picture look great, that is a stain on the wood, which is then poly'd so that it is protected and shiny.  Your table and chairs will not end up with that same look if you use paint. Paint is flat and thick and will hide the dimension and texture of the wood.  If you really want your table and chairs to have that same look, you will have to stain the wood and then use a poly over it to get the sheen.

 Agree, stain looks much better. If you go black it doesn't matter as much, but that rich medium brown demands stain.

Lovely shots! If you are thinking for redoing the dinning table decor then, you can change the color palette like  aqua blue an off-white. Moreover, for the decor you can use faux succulents as the centerpieces and give it a fresh and gorgeous look.
