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

Without actually seeing the table and legs, I would suggest the same as
Derby Dad with trying to add/extend under the apron or skirt. If it's
less than the 2.5" you need, you can attach height adjusters/risers on
the bottom, which usually aren't very noticeable or permanent extensions
similar to something like this....

Of course, using the style of legs you already have. Some creativity
will be required.
