Restore a Table with Stencil & Paint

CRAFTS-DIY-DECOR· CRICUT PROJECTS

Sharing is caring!

I’ve really been drawn to painted furniture with stenciled patterns and phrases that I have seen featured on Pinterest, in magazines and on my favorite blogs.  When this table came through my front door, it was the perfect opportunity to try my hand at doing one for myself.

My husband fixed the broken leg and I grabbed my Annie Sloan Chalk Paint and got to work.

A little bit of paint, a stencil and an old table is given new life!  Doesn’t it look great in the room.

Makes you look at worn, less than perfect furniture differently, doesn’t it?

Playhouse Project – Part 2

Where we left off! When we left off “Playhouse Project” last time, we had cleaned and sanitized the inside of the coop, removed the chain link fence from the run and started to lay out the porch and deck from elements of an old swingset.

The Playhouse Project

It all started with Chickens–8 of them. They were so sweet (you haven’t lived until you’ve cuddled a chicken). Of course, the eggs were delicious too! About a year into owning them, my father-in-law became seriously ill and my husband decided that he just didn’t have the time required to care for the “girls” properly. … Read More about The Playhouse Project

DIY MAKEUP REMOVER PADS

    Just a quick FYI–I replaced the cotton pads with paper towel cut up to fit the container!! I made my own DIY Make-up Remover Pads and I absolutely love them!  Not only do they remove all of my makeup (including waterproof mascara) easily and quickly, my skin feels incredibly soft and hydrated!!  They … Read More about DIY MAKEUP REMOVER PADS

DIY Drop Cloth Project Ideas

Canvas drop cloths are super cheap, super sturdy and easy to find.  You can get them at home improvement stores as well as big box stores that have paint departments.  They come in a bunch of different sizes too.  I like to wash and bleach mine before I use them.  You can find instructions on … Read More about DIY Drop Cloth Project Ideas

    Love the idea and how the lamp draws attention the quote. Make me want to take a fresh coat of paint to my coffee table and see if I can’t give it a little facelift.

    Thanks for sharing your inspiration!

      I never thought I would find one, so you can imagine how happy I was to be “given” one! Thanks!
