This is a true story of Trash to Treasure. One night while out for a walk with a good friend of mine, we noticed this little gem curbside, along with someone else’s trash. Needless to say we had to come back & pick it up. I have had this side table in my garage for quite a while because I wasn’t exactly sure what I wanted to do with it, until this week when I received my lovely stencil I had ordered from Royal Designs. I love it!! I got the Elegancia Allover Stencil, which has a vintage feel to it. You can win one of these stencils on my giveaway post here. I have bigger dreams for this stencil for one of our walls in our house, but for now I started with this little side table….
Before:
After:
I love this color paint, again it was not labeled because I got it from the ‘Mis-tint paint section’ at Lowes. But if I had to name this paint color I would call it “Vanilla Cupcake Batter” It’s a very creamy white with a hint of yellow undertones.
I love layers on the table. If I were to have this in my home, I would style it very eclectically & use all three layers to display things.
The Stencil part was so simple. After a few layers of the “vanilla cupcake” paint, I simply allowed that to dry & then centered the stencil on the table. With a sponge brush I sponged on this light blue color. The quality in the stencil allowed there to be no runs & very clean lines!
I love this table very much, but since I have no room for it in my house, I will most likely be selling it. I want to keep it!!
I chose not to distress this table like I usually do on my favorite furniture makeovers, but I wanted to keep it clean and simple with all the layers & the stenciling.
Well, I hope you enjoyed my {4th} post of the week. That’s a record. I really enjoyed stenciling this table. I am planning on stenciling a LOT more. I may go a little stencil crazy, but I’m sure you guys won’t mind. Have you stenciled something lately? If you have, go link it up on Liz Marie Blog Facebook Page, I would love to see all your stencil projects! I hope all your projects this weekend are turning out fantastic… O, & don’t forget to enter my current giveaway HERE. Trust me, you don’t want to miss out.

Loved this so much that I just had to pin it! Did you have to sand it first before painting? And did you use an oil based paint or latex? I always seem to have problems with paint peeling off when I redo furniture.
This is lovely! Super color and how lucky you were to find it on the mis-tint counter. I am never so lucky. Love the stencil too.
Lindy,
Thank you so much!! i really love this table as well. I am very happy with how it turned out. I used an outdoor latex paint actually. So very durable. I sanded it a little bit.. but actually this table has a lot of little dents in it which I think add character. I also ended with a water based polyurethane to help keep the paint on. I know what you are talking about with the peeling I think the poly will help a lot! – Liz Marie
Thank you so much "Studio Carolina" I love the color too! Isn't it unique.. it's not your typical white. I wish this would go in my house. I love it! You should really ask the associate in the paint section at lowes they were really helpful by showing me all the mistint paints! Thanks again!
Oh how pretty!

Lovely table!! I'm your newest follower from Homemaker on a Dime's linky party.
Adorable, so cute!!!
Very cute table, and the lamp makes a nice accent. Are you sure you can't keep it?
Cute transformation, I love your colors!
You got to watch out for that stenciling, it will get you more and more addicted every time. I have an identical table in my garage full of furniture. You have inspired me! Have a happy day!
That is a beautiful stencil. I just bought a stencil at AC Moore but I don't think it's nearly as nice as yours. I think I may return it and check out Royal designs. Thanks for sharing at my Swing into Spring party.

looks great with you lamp!

How could someone throw away something like that?! Its gorgeous what you did with it. Love the stenciling.
Just beautiful and you sure can't beat "the price"!! Love that you kept it as is I'm a huge fan of distressing but the clean lines on this are more modern and I think you made the right decision! It would be hard for me to part with it — great job!
Soooo pretty!! I love vanilla cupcake batter- the real stuff and the paint color apparently. I think you named it properly
I can't believe someone was throwing out that great piece!! Thanks for linking up this week!
Hi – love it! I have that stencil. Now I'm going to use it for something other than a wall! Nice makeover – really trash to treasure.

Very romantic and pretty looking! I love the color choice and am smitten with your lamp as well. Cute blog!

Beautiful side table.

I really like the stencil you used. I have a table that sort of looks like that and was wondering what I was going to do with it, well now I know. Off to pick a stencil out.
