  • Plain white junior chair from IKEA
  • You need: patterned napkins
pva glue/ decoupage glue, scissors, soft brush, varnish
  • lightly sand and wash the chair. cut your napkin into small squares....paint a thin layer of PVA onto chair...let dry until tacky..
  • apply the napkin squares using a brush with decoupage glue.....overlap slightly...concentrate on one section at the time...
  • When covered, let dry then first varnish using decoupage sealant, then a layer of spray varnish...
  • from plain to fun in one day....

Upcycled Metal and Glass Goodwill Table

I was at the Goodwill as I always am a few times a week and I spotted this metal bottom and glass top table. I thought it would be a challenge because I'm not usually keen on pieces like ...»
this but something about it was calling my name. I paid 20 bucks for it. After it was sitting for quite sometime the idea of chalkboard paint for the surface came to me. I sprayed the top with Krylon black chalkboard paint, which is perfect for writing those little reminders of what to TiVo, what not to miss, or even just a daily reminder of how beautiful life is. As for the bottom half I decided on a green shade in Pistachio from the Krylon line. The bottom was so detailed I decided to spray paint it instead of using a brush. You can see the step by step process and more photos at my blog....http://quirkycool.blogspot.com/2013/04/upcycled-metal-and-glass-table.html

  • Here's the "before" table - I found it by the side of the road, in a neighbor's trash pile.
  • After sanding and painting the table, I added a rag rug to the top, attached with a staple gun and glue on the edges.
  • Rug attached. Hank approved.
  • Using the "rags" from the rug for trim.
  • Glued the trim over the staples to hide them.
  • Trim glued in place. I used a hot glue gun.
  • Finished! It just needs a glass top. The rug top is too flexible to be a table top.
  • Another view of the finished table.
  • The table in its new home.

  • This is the dresser. I have had it more than 20 years. I have a matching taller one, but I want to use that for something else.

Painting: Can I use wall paint on old, finished wooden furniture?

I have an old laquered dresser and an old wooden twin bed that I want to repaint for my son's 3rd birthday.

I bought some teal and lime paint from the mis-tint rack at Lowe's, intending on using it on the walls. I also wanted to use it on the furniture so it all matches, but I want to make sure that it is going to stick. I have read about sanding and priming it first, but I would love to know if there is any way I can get around this step without buying any other special paint? ...»

I will try to post a pic later when I get home of the bed. I dont have one right now.

I acquired this vintage chiroparactic table in 1995. The shop owner told me that it had been painted by a mother of a young son. She had recently passed away. Check out my blog post for more!

Thrifted Dresser Turned Shabby Chic

I'm an avid thrifter. I go out about 3 times a week in search of the gem among the rubble. I've been looking for a dresser for a while now and on my 3rd jaunt to one of my favorite Thrift ...»
Stores last week I found this antique dresser, all wood, and dovetailed. The only flaws were the "dents" the employee said. If he only new......The roughness of the piece adds character. I took it home got immediate color inspiration from a flowered water color like print from a new throw pillow. I decided on doing two tones on the dresser and am thrilled how it all turned out.

Materials Used...

1. Miniwax Water-Based Wood Stain in Green Tea

2. Pantone Paint in the color Nude with a Satin finish

3. Knobs- Hobby Lobby 50% off.

To see the process, my color inspiration and a funny little story about my missing knobs check out my blog http://quirkycool.blogspot.com/2013/05/thrif...
