Fail to Fab and More


Painted (again) the little table with CeCe Caldwell Santa Fe Turquoise after another coat of  Zinsser Cover Stain (see  first try post here), wiped a bit of the paint off with a damp paper towel and then added a stencil. 


First try with the Antiques and Collectibles stencil.

Washed off my first try of 'and collectibles', stencilled again. 


Waxed, polished, finished (evening photo).



 Here is the MORE ...

 After I finished the little table I wanted to try out some more signs. 

 A few pieces of my collection of well aged fence boards and the new stencils from Funky Junk Interiors plus CeCe Caldwell's Simply White and Beckley Coal Black and sponge dabbers were used.

Made 2 'arrow and Farmer's Market' signs.

Made a big GROCERY sign. 


Used a combination of two stencils to make the COLLECTIBLES MARKET sign, DH added the rusty hinge. (mixture of day and evening photos)

Tried out Historic Route 66 on a narrow board.


I'm having fun, learning more with each project.
Here are my earlier stencil posts: here, here, here, here.

Thanks for visiting.

    oh my goodness I love this--I have an umbrella table that just needs to stop being ugly and now I think I can do it--I've been avoiding anything permanent
