These are pretty modern in shape so I'm thinking clean graphics like a bold stripe or chevron. Depends on where and what they are being used for.

A stencil might be the easiest way to go. Patriicia Rawlinson has some wonderful stencils on her site. http://creativeartslifestyle.com/

Ronay Marie Hogan · Answer

I can't decide on what would be right or trending. I'm thinking of adding glass to make it a coffee table with them.

Greg Paige Roussel · Answer

I am not sure I would add just paint. I think they would look good with texture on the sides. Maybe some wood strips forming a stripe pattern or chevron if you are really brave some tile pieces with a bold pattern like hand made Mexican tiles. Good Luck :)

I like the simplicity, do not junk it up with stencil. Glass or mirror top not bad idea. Possibly add a few brass tacks or a simple wood applique circle or such.

Peppi · Answer

i would add a flowing vine stencil over the whole table. use black, gold, copper green or a combination of all of them. don't think you'll get tired of them at all.

Lori · Answer

Just stencil a cute saying or phrase or a french stencil, they are really cute.

CK · Answer

I do like the bright color you chose for those fun tables! :) Personally I wouldn't add anything to the top of them. Why? Well if one decides to style them with accessories then the stencil, etc. will just get covered up most likely. Let the accessories enhance the tables themselves. That way these cute tables can change their personality every time the accessories get changed :-)

Hildegarde · Answer

I agree with Connie: Those tables are eye-catching in this colour and any stencil would deviate from such a beautiful colour. I would leave them as they are - they are magical! Perhaps a coat of oil to intensify the colour?

Nancy B · Answer

French script would be beautiful. Or simply dark wax or stain with gel. The color now is beautiful. Doing nothing more would also be pretty.
