I make a regular date with my girlfriend to peruse the local thrift store
for excellent finds. Two weeks ago, as we strolled the aisles, I came
across three very sturdy wooden TV tray tables. It seems every time it's my
turn to host Thanksgiving, I always wind up with one or two stray souls who
didn't quite grab a chair at the feasting table. So this is my answer!
The tops were terribly worn but in fabulous shape so I gave them a quick
sanding and coat of primer.
After painting them black, I then cut a simple circle in mylar to use as
a background design and stenciled just the edge of it in gold in the center
of the tables top.
I then added our
Small
Single Rose Stencil
to
the center and hand painted a few little curly Q's and some additional
leaves.
After painting the edges gold and two coats of wipe on poly sealer, those
tables now are fit for a King to feast at!
What a fun project that was and I am now using them as occasional tables
whenever extra guests are hunting for a solid surface to rest their coffee
cup.
The great thing about them is that they quickly fold flat for storing
when I don't need them!
