How to stencil a table top! {DIY}
Hello all! I have been crazy busy this past week. Thought I would show you how exactly I stenciled my table top! I have been
getting ready for company, ready for the holidays,
and of course throwing a few more projects on my plate!
When I was doing the ceiling medallion with my cutting edge stencil, my husband actually came up with a genius idea!
You see this stencil came in a half moon shape,which made it very simple to work with on the ceiling around a light fixture.
Seeing it was a perfect circle, my husband suggested I do this table that I have been wanting to paint for years.
It is an Ethan Allen table that was gifted to us from my MIL. It has taken some wear and tear on the top though.
As you can see I have been busy Christmas decorating.
Tree is up, Mantel is done, kitchen, and living..DONE!
I know, I way over function sometimes.
I used a black satin craft paint, and just rolled it on as I did the ceiling.
A small foam roller is all you need.
Stencil tape, craft paint, paper towel to dab excess paint off the roller.
I also did two coats of satin poly on it when it dried just to protect it from chipping.
It really does look pretty in person, and the best part was it took me all of 15 minutes!
So that is what I have been up to!
How about you?
Anyone else got their tree up, Christmas shopping done, etc, etc?
Enjoy the day.
Thanks for popping over!

Beautiful~!!
shoppings way done.. decorating wont start till monday.. so much to do - so little time.
We bought a new prelit tree yesterday. We will probably set it up this weekend just to make sure it works. We won't decorate it until Thanksgiving weekend though. Love the tabletop. It looks professionally done.
Looks beautiful! Very custom :) I get so many ideas from your blog...I just need to set aside some time to complete them.
Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours :)

We don't do Christmas until the weekend after Thanksgiving at our house. So, no I haven't started yet.
You have convinced me that stenciling is easy. I just ordered a stencil from Cutting Edge and mentioned your blog. We will see if I can do it. Love what you do.
Blessings. Audrey
Hello my little bloggy buddy, you look so pretty in your profile pic!
I LOVE that table!!! That looks amazing, you would spend a fortune to buy something like that!
I'm so behind on my blogging, I have no idea where you got the stencil but I might have get me one:)
Hi Debbie,
Love the stencil work! I see you have roosters on your background. lol. I have been away for a while but am back now. Because of you and all your cuteness I'm really liking roosters.
Hope you are well. Looking forward to being part of blogland again.
Blessings,

So glad you did a post on the table Debbie. I spied it in your previous post, and hoped you would. I love it.
I was hoping you were going to show how you did this! Fabulous!

This is gorgeous! I love it and I love this idea!

Yay! I can finally comment!! LOVE the table. The stencil worked perfectly for it.
I cannot begin to think about Christmas until after Thanksgiving. My neighbor had her outside Christmas lights on last weekend, and it completely freaked me out :)

Okay... first I couldn't comment... now I'm commenting too many times.
That is so pretty, Debbie!! :)
I LOVE this; it is just beautiful. I haven't worked with a stencil in years, but you've made me want to get busy. Too busy sewing to start decorating yet, but I am hoping to begin next week. Don't forget to take some time to enjoy all your lovely items. Peggy
I didn't know you did your ceiling. I love both the ceiling and the table. You are very good at stenciling girlfriend!
thats beautiful and it must have been very satisfying,, quick and beautiful!!
That table is gorgeous! What a great idea! I'm betting that the people who made it would love to see it now! : ).. I love it!
Love the table!! I have one I might try that on, so thanks for the inspiration! No Christmas decorating done yet for me...I'm still in autumn mode. lol

Debbie, you never seize to amaze, that table top came out fabulous, it looks like a million bucks!

Oh how do you ever get it all done. With the three year old in the house now it seems I barely have five minute blocks of time to do anything. She starts preschool in the summer so maybe then or maybe I will just lay around and catch up on my TV DVR. Kidding.
Love how that table turned out! I think it makes it look more expensive and definitely more unique.
Awesome ! Just a blank new look. You're amazing to have done it in 15-min.
sooooooooooooooooooo amazing !!! you have done a super duper job ... love it .. thanks for sharing .. xo
Hi Debbie Dear! Oh, I love this! Your table top looks like inlaid wood! Gorgeous! Wow, you've been a busy gal! I have your button on my blog for the many days of the Christmas party! Woo Hoo! I hope I can find something to copy so I can come to yours! Come help me decorate! :)
Be a sweetie,

Debbie, I love this!! Love it on the ceiling too.
OMG! Debbie you are something else. First of all, I love the ceiling and then the table. It turned out fabulous.
Then you throw in the Christmas decorating. When I finish reading you posts I am exhausted.
Let's get some rest. Love you girl, Ginger
Debbie, this is beautiful! I fell in love with the ceiling medallion in a previous post. Wish I could be motivated to snatch and copy all your ideas :)
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!! I would be honored if you would click on over and join my Linky Party!
That really turned out pretty! Looks like inlaid wood. I can't believe you have your tree up. I get panicky thinking about Christmas! I'm so not ready yet!

I love the way that turned out! You need to give the husband two thumbs up for his inspiration.
And Christmas? Christmas? I'm not even ready for Thanksgiving, yet.
Perfect!
Turned out great!!
Christmas decorations - Oh my! Still trying to decide about the tree. :D

Sabri, I checked your blog, still confusing to me. When it comes up your header loads,then you have to scroll down all the way down to see the post.
thanks deb !!! i am so agrrivated..i first lost my blog to photo bucket and now i can't post a comment page..i even tyred the blogger help link...i don't know what else to do at this point..at least i can come and comment on your cute posts...thanks again deb !! love what you have done with your stenciling..xoxo ~sabri~
It's beautiful and I can't believe it was so fast and easy! Stenciling and I, well, we just don't get along, that's all. But I've never tried a roller... my paint always seeps up under the stencil, sigh.
I haven't decorated for Christmas because we're having 43 for Thanksgiving lunch (they bring the food except I provide the turkey). but the minute they walk out the door, I am so onto Christmas :)
Thanks for sharing,
Mary
Looks time consuming and expensive! The best! thanks for sharing! beverlee
