Stenciled End Table

I found this nice end table at the Goodwill store a few months ago.  The leg wobbled a bit when I found it, but I knew the screws just needed tightened and it definitely needed some paint for a fresh new look.  But, for only $4.97, how could I resist?!

I knew that I wanted to try something different on this table.  I used Chalk Paint decorative paint by Annie Sloan.  Chalk Paint has been my go-to paint lately because it coats so well and I can paint inside the basement.  I chose to use Cream and Aubusson Blue as my two colors.  I painted the base coat in the blue and then layered cream over top of it.  I bought some stencils at AC Moore and decided I liked this graphic stencil the best to go along the edge.  I’m sure I was inspired by the original woodwork of the table.

I definitely discovered that stenciling takes some practice, and less paint on your brush is better.  Needless to say, I ended up with a less than perfect stencil, but I didn’t really care.  I knew I was going to distress the table, so the stencil lines didn’t need to be too crisp.

And, you can see they definitely weren’t crisp!!  But, for some reason I liked it. 🙂

I used sand paper to distress the whole table.  I think it makes the imperfections blend right in.  I liked seeing the layers of color and the natural wood peaking out.

After I distressed the able, I cleaned it all up and then got out my wax.

I coated the whole table with clear wax and buffed it to a shine.  I like using a t-shirt to apply and buff.  It works well for me.

The distressing really made the detail on the legs pop too.

I love how the stencils took this from a very average end table to an interesting and unique piece of furniture?  Have you ever painted with stencils?
