We'd like you to meet Michelle, the furniture makeover maven from Our Crafty Mom. Michelle admits that she loves to refinish furniture. Michelle stumbled upon a wooden curbside treasure. She saw potential and decided to give it a makeover. First she sanded it down and painted it using Americana chalk paint in Vintage, a duck egg blue hue. After a fresh coat of paint, the old table was already perking up. Michelle thought it needed a splash of personality. She chose to use her French Poem Craft Stencil pattern in pure white chalk paint. To top it all off, she applied a coat of clear wax. She said, " It is amazing what a couple of coats of paint can do!" We totally agree that paint and a stencil turned this curbside trash into a gem!

Next up, we want to introduce Kathy, the furniture makeover queen from Prairie Peony. Kathy found a pretty French provincial coffee table with matching side tables. The set was beat up but Kathy loves giving new life to old pieces of furniture. She sanded the coffee table down and painted the legs. Kathy chose to stencil the top of the coffee table using the Paisley Allover Stencil. She painted the eye-catching stencil pattern and then applied a stain over it. Kathy completed the table with a coat of dark wax for an antique look. She commented, "I love the paisley pattern so much. It looks fantastic. " We agree that her project looks awesome!
