This saga began one drizzly day on the way to the Habitat Restore. I was looking for some stuff… You know. The kind of trip where you know you need something, but aren’t quite sure what exactly that might be…
Driving through the mist, I spied with my little eye… This…
By the dumpster, alone… discarded… And, boy howdy… I’d been searching for her in all the wrong places.
This project was filled with luck. Beyond luck-i-ness. I had just won a Cutting Edge Stencil. Sigh. I’m never, ever, ever in the history of this half-lived life THIS lucky…
But, alas, as you can see… the luck ran out…
Can I give you some unsolicited advice? Whatever you do, DON”T use a kitchen sponge to try and stencil a road-side rescued coffee table… or any other table, for that matter…
Better in Black and White?
Nope. Nothing could save this mess… except to sand it down and start over the right way…
What ever the directions say about not “necessarily” needing any Spray Adhesive, USE IT. IT HELPS. Like.. a lot.
Already better… The edges had to be tailored a bit because the stencil wasn’t the exact size, yo. But it worked out in the end.
The Bold Abode finally has a coffee table.
And we didn’t know what we were missing…
All that surface area added for our pile lovin’ pleasure…
And the best part? Now we have a place to prop our feet when we’re readin’ Nate the Great and the Lost List…
Could I get any luckier, yall???
