So the plan is to paint the legs and skirt turquoise (surprised?) and stain the top dark walnut. Well, I gave it two coats of ASCP Provence, and stripped and stained the top. Only problem is that the stain didn't take well and it just didn't look right.
Great! Now what?
Plan B:
Paint the top black.
Then I cut a stencil using my Silhouette and applied it to the top.
I painted the uncovered sections in Old White.
And the most fun step - pull the stencil off to reveal the pattern.
Yep, I'm lovin' it!
Two coats of clear wax and off to the shop it went.
Plan B stands for "Better!"

You are so clever. I love this table, particularly the stenciled top. I may have to copy this idea.
I'm digging your new table! I have yet to cut a stencil with my Silhouette but it looks like yours came out great. I am still on step 1 trying to figure out how to cut vinyl well...LOL
