End Table With an Exotic Flare

Thanks to Blog land , I am constantly exposed to endless inspirations that get my creative juices flowing. Before blogging, I would  buy a piece of furniture that best suits my style. After blogging, I transform pieces of furniture into the style that I want. Actually, I am still learning how to do that , but never the less, the option is now there.

Here are my favorite home projects that I would not have done if it weren’t for blog land (Click on the image to be re-directed to the original blog post)…….

Today’s post is another one of my home projects that will be added to to that category…….An End Table With an Exotic Flare

I bought this end table from Target years ago

Unfortunately, it is now scratched up and that look is no longer appropriate in my family room. So, I decided to paint it with Annie Sloan’s Chalk Paint {Name: Versailles} . After 3 coats of paint…..

Then, I created a vinyl stencil of an Islamic pattern to decorate the table….

After all was done, I applied 2 coats of Annie Sloan’s clear wax to protect it.

Here it is again….An End Table With an Exotic Flare

I can not decide whether to leave the top blank or to enlarge one of these patterns to create a single stencil for the top. . What do your think?
