I love those second chairs!

I'm eclectic. Here's what I did with my freecycle table.

A few ideas. Love @Sam Potter's

Sand all of the varnish off the top and apply Lye, this will bleach it. Then apply some white Osmo oil or grey tinted oil. Sand the underneath and apply Zinsser and then paint whatever colour you want.

As suggested already, painting it will be a great improvement. Those round pedestal tables do have a country vibe but this can be changed with painting It a colour to fit in with your decor. Here’s some ideas:

I think the trick is to add the chairs that are completely different style: industrial or midcentury etc. And you can go away without painting it. Focus on chairs:

If you decide to pain the table go for white or black it will draw attention off the country feel. There is great group on Facebook called the World of Chalk Paint, Distress and Decoupage https://www.facebook.com/groups/Chalkpaint101/?ref=share . You can ask people to show their painted tables.

You have a lot of good suggestions above!

Definitely sand/paint. If you fancy it, you can also add some stenciled patterns. Upholster the chairs if you can with vibrant fabrics. That will definitely bring it to life!

Pic to show the type of stencil I think would work great.

Thanks guys! I’ve purchased some chairs!

Great well done! Let’s have a look then :-D

They need a bit of work but for £7 each.....

That is a bargain! Go really well with your table too, whether you paint or not.

Seems much of the hard work has already been done to the chair(s).

Did you sand them?

Yeh (we’ll husband did) several Layers of old chalk paint...
