Is it Monday? ALREADY? Is it just me, or do the days just go faster and faster?
I know my whole summer is just zipping by.
But along with all the crazy summer stuff we are trying to cram into
our small window of sunshine, I have still managed to finish a few projects.
Here is a table I had gotten at a Garage Sale for $5.
I was so excited to get a "naked" table...
It was like starting with a blank canvas.
I got out my Dark walnut stain, cause I wanted the table to have some UMPH...
I didn't want any sissy light stain...:)
Once that was dry I gave it a coat of Ce Ce Caldwell's Traverse City Cherry.
(being a Michigan girl...it is one of my Faves)
While the paint was curing I decided I wanted to use a "Graphics Fairy" graphic
and she had just put up this one.................LOVE !!!!!!!!
So I used my Carbon Paper (transfer paper) and just printed off on my printer and traced
it onto my table top. I then used my white Krink paint pen and
started coloring in the lines.
when that was done I free handed a little Fleur de lis and distressed the heck out of the top.
I sealed it with a clear satin finish
waxed and distressed the paint...
and ended up with this!
I am so pleased!! I love the deep red and and dark stain.
Its my rustic little French Side table.
I hope you all have a BEAUTIFUL day!!!!!

Beautiful, Karin! Love it!!!!!
Beautiful and you used CeCe Caldwell paint!
Turned out cute, and I'd say you have a pretty steady hand. I tried to color in the lines on something and had to sand it off and start all over!

I love that cherry color on the bottom.
I love the curvy sexy legs!

This is a great makeover. Love what you did with the little table.
Came over from DIY to see your table. It is always nice to start with a blank canvas. Your vision was wonderful and your design fit with the table's sexy legs!

What a beautiful use of a transfer on a dark piece of wood furniture--I like the effect a lot. I've seen it done on a lot of white objects and furniture, but not on a pretty darker-hued piece such as your table--it inspires me!
Red seems to be a hot color right now. Looks great!
Love love love this!!! It turned out soooo beautiful!
Saw you sharing at Tuesday's Treasures
