From Blah to Beautiful!

 

 

                        

 

 

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!
