Discarded Side table given a Stencilled Makeover

Welcome back my Beauties!

We have a had a bit of a warm up so I have been busting my buns

to get some things ready for the booth.

I have had this poor discarded side table in my garage for a few months waiting for its makeover.

I knew it was gonna need some major sanding so I waited until I could be outside to get that done.

So as soon as it warmed up a bit, I pulled out the 

Belt Sander and got to work.

I am not gonna lie..It took some major elbow grease along with that big ole belt sander to get through all the grease stains,

but I prevailed!!!

Once I used my finish sander to smooth out the top, I grabbed some dark stain I had in my garage and gave the top a quick stain.

I then cleaned up the rest of the base knowing I would be painting that.

As usual our temps dropped again and I had to bring my little project inside.

I decided this top needed to POP since it had been through such hardships. So I grabbed my 

Americana Decor Fleur Medallion Stencil

Placed it where I wanted it and got to work.

Since I wanted it to POP, I decided to go with

General Finishes paint in SNOW WHITE

for the stencil.

It played off really nicely with the dark stain.

I slightly distressed it when it was dry to match the light distressing of the table.

For the base color I chose 

General Finishes Milk Paint Persian Blue

and

General Finishes Gel Topcoat 

to seal it off. 

I couldn't be more THRILLED with how the tired and beat up old table turned out.

The light distressing against the wood and the white paint

just made my heart go pitter patter.

I think you will agree that it looks much better than before.

I am so happy to be plugging away on furniture again.

Now if this nice weather would stick around I could be much more productive.

Sadly we have a wicked snow storm headed this way as I type.

C'est LaVie!

I hope you enjoyed this latest makeover!

I will see you again once I defrost!

Until then;

Have a BEAUTIFUL day!
