DIY: Table Remix


Hello. I'm back. Quite a hiatus I know. As usual I will ignore it and just go about showing you a cool project :) So my auntie likes to give me pretties for my apartment that she no longer has use for…like this Ethan Allen table. Unfortunately it had an accident involving nail polish remover, a cotton ball, and a napkin and lets just leave it at that. Obvi, I don't want to scrap this table. It's Ethan Allen first of all and it's the perfect size/height. I came up with the idea to just paint over top my faux pas as a solution and I used a hand carved stamp purchased from Etsy to create a cutesy pattern. I have to say, it looks much better and I def salvaged it for now but I have a few ideas to tweak it further. Like, I feel it needs more cherries and I'd like to "shabby-chic" it with some sand paper and use a wax on the top to stain it a bit. My mom even threw out the intriguing suggestion of painting the base a high gloss cherry red. idk. I will update this post later on but until then here is how I got the table to point A. 

A. Acquire busted piece of adored furniture and supplies.




B. Paint over bonehead mistake and use tape so you don't make it worse. 



C. Stamp, Stamp, Stamp.





D. Let it dry and then stack your crap back on it!




Thanks for reading!
