Nothing Wrong with a Pink Table

by Margaret Kalal


I found this 3-tiered pie table deep in a warehouse piled to the ceiling with wonderful antiques. It was in a stack of discarded items that were in need of lots of TLC. It had been painted a flat black and had several broken or split wood sections. Once the repairs were completed with a good quality wood glue and some new hardware to the legs supports I decided to make it a very feminine piece for either a bedroom or bathroom accent.

Here is a before pic with the flat black paint finish. This took several coats of Kilz spray to adequately cover the black.

Loved the finish in pink and cream with a Parisian stencil directly on top. The cream colored edges were slightly distressed and then sealed with a polycrylic.

I added a Moulins de Provence stencil on the top tier for a touch of France effect. This little table sold  the same day I took it to Unique Boutique.
