Hey everyone! Hope you’re all doing well. This past summer flew by way too fast! It’s been hard to keep up with all the projects I’ve been working on, it’s finally time I share this one with you! This adorable coffee table has the perfect style and quality to make it stand out, the only thing it really needed was an update.
After sanding down the tabletop, I wanted to do a cute Parisian stencil, but as you’ll see in a bit, it didn’t go as planned :(
I found the cutest stencil and set to work, after hand painting it, I was very proud of my hard work! The only problem: I used a stain that was way too dark! Mental note for next time!
Sadly, the dark walnut stain I had on hand at the time was a bit too dark, the stencil just barely showed up, but it was still visible enough to look like a messy patch on the table. I sanded down that area and restrained it so that the stencil would no longer poke through. And then I painted the bottom half of the table with some lovely white chalk paint.
Even though this project didn’t go as planned, it still turned out well! Once everything dried, I gave it all a nice wax to protect it and now it’s ready to go to someone new. ☺️
