Le Poulet Side Table


distressed painting, side table, The Graphics Fairy image, French chicken
Are you ready for a little French chicken this morning?

 Served on a transformed side table.









The table was genuinely the ugliest thing in the thrift shop that day.

 The manager was sure that even I would not want it.











It was sooooooo orange.

 It was sooooooo scratched.

It was sooooooo calling out for a makeover.

So I bought it.

An extra heavy-duty sanding.

One coat of Bermuda Sand white paint.



Two coats of paint.

A few touch-up areas.

How sweet is this!?!

Not a wiggle in her.

Sturdy!

Nice legs.






I sanded the edges a bit for distressing.


Selected the French chicken image from The Graphics Fairy.

 Used the waxed paper transfer method.













Voila!

Le Poulet side table.

An ugly duckling turned into a swan, er, chicken!

    Night and day.
    What is that metal thingy behind it with a 'roof'? (Hopefully it wasn't something you already posted and I wasn't paying attention that day.)

    Is your paint a spray or brush on? Your transfer turned out great!

    Amazing what a little white paint and a graphic will do. Table really looks great.
    That old pine furniture is so well made and lasts for years
    Isn't it nice that people with no imagination leave those little treasures for you?

    I love it - it looks terrific. Isn't amazing what a little or a lot of paint can do for a tired old table. You did a wonderful job.
    Have a great week,

    I liked that the table was narrow. With the white paint, it doesn't look as chunky. Good eye!

    What a transformation! To take a sad old table and turn it into something that belongs in a high-end shop, well done!
