Side Table Revamp

I inherited these oak side tables as a part of the package that came with my husband.  I finally got at them with some spray paint and stenciling to help them fit right in to their surroundings.  Here is what i did…

Supplies:

• Tables to revamp
• Sand paper
• Spray paint (I used Krylon Outdoor in Ivory and Tuscan Sun)
• Stencil
• Decoart Texture Magic Dimensional paint (I used Golden Pear)
• Hardware (I covered my knobs in polymer clay, here)

Instructions:

• Sand side tables lightly with medium grit sandpaper.
• Wipe away debris with damp cloth
• Spray paint with desired color
• Once spray paint is dry, remove drawer and tape stencil in place.

• Use spatula to spread thick layer of texture magic from the center of the stencil out.

• Remove stencil, being careful not to touch the wet texture paint.  Let dry completely (drying time depends upon how thick you made the layer – I sped mine up using my heat tool).
• Spray Krylon clear coat or other finish for protection, shine and durability.
• Put on your hardware and you are finished!

I did two tables to coordinate.  I brused over the raised stenciled area with distress inkpad in walnut to enhance the texture.  Easy revamp…
