How To Paint Furniture: Stenciling

Today I'm showing yous i of my favorite slice of furniture makeovers together with showing yous how I stencil furniture.

 This was an sometime wooden vanity tabular array together with stool that I flora on Craigslist for $10. I painted it alongside my homemade chalk paint, changed the hardware, reupholstered it, stenciled it, together with added a spray-painted mirror hung inward a higher identify it. This was the finished result: 

Basically, I did everything yous could mayhap practise to plow an outdated thrify uncovering into something snazzy. And all for nether $20 total.

This was the offset slice of slice of furniture I e'er stenciled. I would normally precisely pigment or refinish a piece, but alongside this pocket-size vanity table, I decided to endeavour something different. 

I painted the entire tabular array (using Behr Creamy White converted into chalk paint) together with hence stenciled a lattice blueprint using gilded metallic element paint. I forgot to snap a earlier moving-picture present (this was done earlier my blogging days), hence precisely imagine a knotty-pine-nightmare together with you'll accept a adept watch of what this used to await similar earlier a coat of white paint.

And hence there's the awesome rose-upholstery.

I decided to supervene upon that alongside some neutral material.

Here's some details inward instance you'd similar to endeavour this at home.

Supplies:

1. Upholstery textile of your alternative (I used almost 1/3 of a yard.)

2. trim down (optional)

3. Staple gun & staples

4. scissors

5. screw driver

6. hot gum gun & hot gum sticks

7. painter's tape

8. metallic element pigment for stencil (or colouring of your choice)

9. stencil

10. paintbrush or roller

(and of course of pedagogy the pigment to pigment the whole vanity & stool if yours is also a wooden monstrosity)

PART I: UPHOLSTERY

To reupholster the stool, yous offset accept to take away the plow over cushion from the base of operations of the stool. It's normally screwed on together with a uncomplicated screwdriver volition practise the trick.

 Next, split upwardly the cushion from the base of operations together with identify the cushion on your fabric. Make certain the side of the textile yous desire to present is facing the floor. Like this:

 Make certain in that place is plenty textile on each side to wrap over the edge. Staple precisely about all 4 sides, leaving precisely the 4 corners unstapled.

Once your cushion looks similar the inward a higher identify picture, yous are cook to complete the corners. To brand the corners await equally shine equally possible, I cutting the bulk of the textile off of the corner together with larn out precisely a footling strip of textile remaining. Then, I line the strip equally far equally I tin towards the middle together with staple it securely to the wooden bottom. It should await something similar this i time the corners are finished:

Now, yous are cook to reattach the cushion to the base! I precisely poked precisely about for the master copy holes together with hence matched them upwardly alongside the holes on the base. Then only screw the master copy screws dorsum in.

Voila! Your stool is forthwith upholstered alongside pretty novel fabric!

Now, to brand your stool await nice, I intend it is best to usage some trim down to embrace the gap betwixt the base of operations together with cushion. I purchased two yards of trim down from Hobby Lobby for $4 total. You only start at i corner together with hot gum it precisely about the edges.

and hence yous volition accept something that looks similar this.

PART II: STENCIL THE TABLE

I flora this 'Iron Lattice' wall stencil at Hobby Lobby.

Take the stencil together with record it where yous desire it on the offset one-half of the tabular array (with your bluish painter's tape).

Next, dip your roller inward your pigment choice
 and pigment over the the business office covered past times the stencil. Go calorie-free on the pigment hence that it doesn't seep nether the stencil. I rolled my roller over a newspaper towel a few times earlier I started.

While the pigment is nonetheless wet, take away the record together with the stencil. It should await similar this:

Next, gibe upwardly the stencil together with repeat on the opposite side. Again, take away the stencil together with yous volition accept this:

And you're done!

 If yous desire to add together a mirror, yous tin endure inexpensive similar me together with uncovering a thrift shop mirror alongside a decent frame together with spray pigment it. This i was originally black forest together with I only painted it gold.

I intend it looks hence smashing inward the bedroom. Almost everything inward this bedroom came from a thrift shop together with has been repurposed.

Don't forget to pivot this post hence yous tin uncovering it when yous need it!
