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….

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.
