Be sure and check to make sure it is all transferring. Oopps, I need some more pastel there. |
Using various sized paint pens I filled in the lettering |
The end table in my room:
This is my comfy lounge, blogging spot with my laptop |
Fancy little knobs I had laying around. Sprayed them with a metallic charcoal grey and then Painted the center (wood) part with that creamy white and used the paint pen to make the hash marks. |
Since this guy had that "stinking" problem, before I painted it, I washed it down really, really well, and then sealed it on the underside of the top and underneath, and inside the drawer with a poly spray-on, just to be on the safe side. My biggest fan said I was NOT bringing that thing in the house if it remotely had any remaining stink to it! I primed it with black, painted on the teal, distressed it a bit, glazed it with a watered down black paint, and then used paste wax all over. What do you think?
POISON, BOONVILLE, IN TABLE
Here is another little project I was working on at the same time. This graphic was also on the Graphics Fairy blog. I thought it was a hoot and just had to use it somewhere. Booneville, IN is just a few miles down the road from where I live. I believe I read on that post that "The Graphics Fairy", herself, used to live right down the road from me in Boonville, IN! I should message her about that! (note to self)
I had this piece of wood lying around. I think it was a shelf at one time. Found it AND the base of this little table at my favorite junk shop. I think I paid a whole $2.50 for both the of them. So here it is:

Plus This
Equals THIS

Before Distressing - I kinda messed up on the "S", so needed to do some distressing to hide that little bitty mistake! |
So what do you think of my little BOONVILLE, IN POISON table??
Thanks for looking, came back often, to see what I have been up to! I have been busy working on the two side chairs that I bought at my favorite junk shop. They are almost done!
I love your comments, so keep them coming!
