Flaky to Fab
This sad little side table was found at the thrift store just begging to be taken home, so of course I heard it's cry and took this baby with me. I have had it about a year, it has spent a lot of time on the covered deck waiting and waiting for me to get to it. Finally it didn't have to wait any longer.
Flaky is an understatement, I had to thoroughly sand this baby down.
A couple coats of grey chalk paint and it was apparent that there was bleed through from the mahogany stain underneath. A nice spray coating of shellac worked wonders. Then on for the 3rd and 4th coat of thinned paint.
I taped out the area that I wanted to stencil and stenciled in French linen ASCP
I highlighted some detail in old white, and lightly sanded and shabbied.
