Default Help raising a table

Nice Kitchen table. Height is 28 inches would like to raise it to 30.5 inches.
Table has four legs, each leg is two 1x4's formed into an "L" shape. It is oak. Would like to raise it with a little more style than simply shoving blocks underneath.
Thinking maybe I should surround the lower portion of the 1x4 "L" shape with short 1x5's (extending down, say 2 inches) all sitting on a 1" platform (maybe a 6x6 lying flat).
Any and all design ideas greatly appreciated.

Of course all of this would be followed by purchasing 6 chairs of the proper height.

Thank you, Ivan Vegvary

How are the legs attached to the table? Is there an apron?

I'm curious if there is a way leave the bottom of the legs as is (as are?)
and raise the table top, hiding the upper extensions behind the apron.

Pictures might help.
