We had so much fun working on our Vintage Bicycle Ad Table, we decided to jump right into another furniture piece.
Enter this little yellow table.
Now I like yellow. And I like flowers. But mixed together and slapped on a coffee table…it’s just not really my thing. I loved the shape of the table though, and it’s curvy little legs.
So we started by giving the whole thing a couple coats of Annie Sloan “Old White”. Next, we added this french shoe factory graphic from The Graphics Fairy using Annie Sloan “French Linen”. Once dry, we gave it a light distressing with a fine grit sanding block. We only distressed the table top where the stenciling is, and decided not to distress the rest of the table.
You can find our detailed instructions for painting graphics on furniture here.
We decided to paint part of the legs “French Linen” too. We also used a little Rub-N-Buff in “Ebony” to clean up the feet a little. We used very little because we didn’t want the feet to look brand new, just enough to give the old girl a little pedicure without covering the original patina.
The whole thing got a coat of clear wax, and the table has a piece of glass that fits over the stenciled top.
I had the hardest time photographing this little table! So much so that I almost didn’t share it, but I figured you guys would forgive me my mediocre photography skills.
Let’s hang out more! You can find us here: Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, & Google+.

Shut the front door!!! We can’t believe that you are new to furniture painting! This coffee table is amazingly beautiful and creative! Great job!
You girls are so sweet!! Thank you for always stopping by and leaving the best comments!!
This turned out so cool! (and your pictures are not bad at all!) You have totally inspired me to stencil something on an old desk I’m going to paint soon 🙂
It’s addicting, Rebekah!! I can’t wait to see what you do with your desk! 🙂
Awesome job on this cute little coffee table. I love it! I’m visiting from the Fugal Crafty Home Blog Hop and your cookies have been pinned! I would love it if you’d share it at Totally Terrific Tuesday Link Party. It starts tonight at 10pm. I hope to see you there!
Thank you so much, Christie!! I’m a little late to the party but headed that way now :). Thanks for the invite and your sweet comment!
What a lovely little table! Love the end result, and you started with a great piece to begin with. Wonderful details!!
Thank you, Lory!!
You are totally on a roll!! Loving this gorgeous little table, what a complete and WAY better difference! 🙂 Love those little feet, too!
Thanks so much, Amanda!! I love the little feet too 🙂
I love the look of table and small side table…I bought a projector and need to know how to do this…do I have to print off on transparencies first
Thank you!! We printed our images onto transparency paper (we found ours at Staples). Once printed, set up your projector and whatever you’re painting and adjust it until the image is in the right place and the size you want. For both tables we did, I had the projector on the floor and the tables propped up on something. Once you’re ready to sketch out your image, use painters tape to tape your transparency paper onto the projector so it won’t accidentally get moved. Then sketch out your image with pencil and when you’re done you can move the table to a more comfortable location and paint it in. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to email us canarystreetcrafts@gmail.com. If you do a project I’d love for you to share a picture with us too!! Upload to our Facebook page or email us :).
This is just gorgeous Amy!! I am getting such inspiration from you… I can’t wait to go to yard sales and find old furniture to fix up like this. I love the detail in the legs too. You are so talented!
So pretty.Your coffee table turned out great. I really like the way you used different shades of paint but kept them all in a neutral tone.
Thank you so much, Patti! I appreciate your comment and I’m so glad you stopped by :).
Beautiful makeover!! I love the shape of the coffee table, great job!
Thanks, Amanda!!
This is gorgeous! Isn’t it amazing how much of a difference a stencil can make? It totally transforms a piece! Awesome job!
Thanks so much, Bre!!
SUCH an amazing transformation! You gals are totally knocking it out of the park with these fab furniture makeovers!!!
Thanks, Kristi!! I had no clue I would enjoy it as much as I do! We’re having so much fun hunting down new pieces to work on :).
I love stenciled furniture and have done a few myself -but I really love both your pieces. So pretty – especially the little black feet on the coffee table – such a perfect touch. Cathy
Thank you so much, Cathy!
I love your coffee table trasformation! I like the new colours that you used and the decoration at the top of it! Lovely!

Oh you ladies are impressing me…. and everyone else too, I’m sure!! Wow… love the stenciling!!! Such a pretty table!!! Have a great rest of the week! xo
Thank you, Kendra!!! xoxo
Such a cute coffee table! I love the lines on Duncan Phyfe furniture. It really turned out cute.
Thanks Cat! I love the Duncan Phyfe style lines too!! I’m so glad you stopped by :).
Wow! This turned out fabulous! Love the colors!
Thank you, Tara!!
I’m so glad you shared this table a Talented Tuesdays! It’s sooooo cute! I love the colors, the graphic, the curvy lines of the piece – all of it!
This is a huge coincidence! I just bought exactly the same table – identical except it was in it’s original dark wood finish. I just started painting it with ASCP in Duck Egg Blue and was looking for tips for using the paint when I came to your website! I also spent an hour at Michael’s craft store looking for something to put on the tray top and had seen some French stencils similar to your sign – what a fabulous idea! Your table looks great! If it is the same table does yours have a little spring loaded post on the underside which lifts the glass top up so you can get hold of it for cleaning? I thought it was so cool! I hope mine turns out as nice as yours! Thanks for the tips – very helpful!
That’s so funny, Michele! Our table doesn’t have the little spring loaded posts under the glass, but that’s such a nice feature! We found ours at a Goodwill years and years ago and it’s been sitting in the basement until recently when we painted it. Duck Egg Blue will look gorgeous on it. Email me a picture of it when you’re done if you think about it, I’d really love to see it (canarystreetcrafts@gmail.com). Also if you run into any snags using the paint, message us and we’ll help :).
Amy, once again, y’all have done a fabulous job! I love the style and look of this table! Have a great day! I’m still laughing at “Crabby”…it fits! 🙂
