Furniture Revivals Painting

A old sign styled tabletop... with a story!

I love the look of old signs, so it was a given that the look would eventually find it's way onto furniture.

However this one comes with a twist. Words are only words unless they MEAN something. This message has me remembering a person and a place.

    A cute little outdoor table found at the thrift was the perfect candidate for this makeover.

    Aha! I knew it had to be a FunkyJunk project just by looking at the pictures. Your stenciled style is so recognizable and so YOU! :) I love this table and I love that it matches your stenciled stairs!

    I love words on furniture if they truly mean something to the person and not just for the sake of words. Yeah, those still can look neat, but when there's meaning it's a whole other ballpark.

    I love that you didn't center these too. Makes it look as though it might have come from an old sign.
