What a great idea. Painting something on a glass table. I painted the cushions of my lanai furniture because I got the set as a bargain and had a teal thing going on and the flowers were orange. I used acrylic paint and it has worn like iron. (Took forever though!)

I also considered using the dining area as an office or..."library" but I got a great deal on a gorgeous dining room table and beachy looking matching breakfront.

A professional decorator helped a guy down the street and he had no dining room table in his Lantana, but that model has a very large dining area in the kitchen that can seat a bunch. He used it for seating and it is quite nice. He pulled up the chandelier.

I just love the way people make these very similar homes their own!
