I was driving down the street and happened to glance over and see this sad sad coffee table sitting next to a dumpster. I did a U-turn in the middle of the street and headed that way. When I got there, I could see that it had good bones, but just needed some TLC. Up and into my truck it went( I love my truck!).
I started by stripping off all of the paint first, then grabbed some tape and stain.
Then the fun part! I had recently saw another table on Road Kill Rescue that I absolutely adored and decided to pattern my table after hers. Stenciling is sooo easy. FYI, next time I will take a little more time and center my patterns.
Stenciling done, added a couple of coats of poly.
Finished product!
SO pretty!!! I've never tried stenciling, but you've just inspired me to give it a try! I love how you did the legs in a different color. - Desiree
ReplyDelete... or after looking more closely, maybe the legs are metal? either way, I really like the contrast. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Desiree, the legs are actually a metal. They had this ugly gold paint on them. I took some stripper to it, then took my sander to them. It gave them some awesome detail...The stenciling was so easy, I will definately do it again.
