It's been a while since I have blogged. January was filled with a lot of fun projects, a trip to Utah and the beginning of some warm weather!! Earlier this month I found an idea on http://www.thesassypepper.blogspot.com/2012/10/diy-furniture-stenciling.html to redo a new TV stand. I found a cabinet on craigslist for $30 and started to get to work.
Before
After
Here are some of the steps I did.
1. Painted the whole thing white. 1 coat of primer and 2 coats of white paint.
2. Stenciled the doors. I used a martha stewart stencil from Amazon. As you can see the one that I took a picture of didn't work and I ended up using a different color and stencil.
3. Then I did 2 coats of varnish on the whole thing.
3. The finished product with the TV on it! The color I ended up using is the color of our walls so it worked out well!
That turned out darling! I've always been afraid of painting/refinishing furniture...you make it look easy!
