I know what you’re thinking…..

You think you’ve seen me do this kind of spray art before. 

Not like this.

Let’s pan out………….

shall we?

I cannot tell you how giddy I am!

Ta-da!

Does this rock?

It’s my coffee table!  Come on, isn’t it cool?

Here’s how it started out this afternoon.  The little chips everywhere were really bugging me.  I started sanding and it only got worse.  I thought a little sanding would even the chippiness and give it that shabby chic look.  Wrong.

So then I got out the electric sander and it got really scary.  Wouldn’t this scare you?

When I wiped away all the dust it looked like this.  Gulp.  Nothing a little spray paint can’t fix.  So now what are you thinking?  Got a piece of furniture that needs a facelift? 

Spray on paper, check.  Spray on clothing, check.  Spray on furniture, check.  Spray on mini-van?  Hmmmmm.

p.s.  did you spy the heartagram?

    That REALLY rocks!! How do you come up with these ideas!?! I love how you used the extra large stencil and the heartagram is just perfect! I am SO jealous. Keep the inspiration coming!

    You are so totally cool to make a table like this! I must say that of all the “art blogs” that I read, this is my favorite–I can’t wait to see what you will come up with next!

    a little hint. Now hand sand with 220 grit sandpaper exposing a little wood on the sides then rub the entire table down with either dark or light brown(not black) briwx. The wax creates an incredible finish. (But do a test sample first)

OH heck, just spray paint a wall….Now how cool would that be for a backdrop! Love the Heartagram, love the big stencils. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the diamond stencil….where did that one come from. I LOVE diamonds and I’m not talking the shiny kind. OH GIRL…you brain just blows me away, your talent unending! Wowza!
