Great to hear from you Kathleen!

Have you ever tried furniture transfers? I’m not as experienced as some of my creative friends, but I do LOVE the way they look on furniture (drawers).

Good luck whatever you decide to do!

I have 3 stencil brushes. My taste runs to traditional, bows and swags. Have been thinking about adding some stenciling to a small 9 drawer I’ve had for years and never could decide what to do with it.

The stencil was cool! Gave this table a personality.

In reply to Mary Loveland.

Mary,

This is in a rustic cabin in Sevierville TN. It’s not my cabin, not my table. The owner asked me to apply the stencil, so I did. 🙂 That’s why I address options for readers to fix up their project if they choose to do so.
It was a quick visit and I barely had the supplies with me to do the stencil. In real life, it appears that the table has always had the stencil on it, and that it has a lot of stories to tell.

The end result is nice but I am a bit shocked that you didn’t sand and touch up the finish before stenciling??

In reply to girlfromwva. Thanks Nova! My cousin sort of roped me into doing this project while we were on a "work weekend" at the cabin! I wasn't really prepared. hahahah
