Not sure if it shows up real well in the picture (hey, I was going for subtle so that must mean I succeeded!) but I rubbed small amounts of the gray on with my fingers on the edges and around the corners to give it an aged look. Stay tuned for the next Harlequin design! p.s. I probably wouldn't have known that was called harlequin - it was on the stencil! And you thought I was good with design terms... nope!

Very cool!!! "Harlequin" is new to me! Is it different than argyle? So now... is this very cool table for sale? If so, how much?
ReplyDeleteThanks! hmmmm different than argyle... don't ask me such hard questions. haha. I always thought argle had the dashes through it, no? And of course it is for sale like most things I do that I can't find a spot for in my house! $30 is the price tag.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I'm about to do my first "patterned top" table and wouldn't dare attempt it without a stencil...especially not on the first try! :) Your table looks fabulous...love the subtle design. XO
ReplyDeleteAs always, Kammy, great job! Thank you so much for linking up! Don't forget the 500 follower giveaway starts this Tuesday. You were "Little Miss Lucky" on the first one and you'll really like this one! I hope you win, but that's just our secret!
ReplyDeletehi Kammy, this is great, I have actually done several harlqeuin pieces of furniutre and always do it by hand. I just draw on with a ruler and then hand paint with a small paint brush.

and 2 coffee tables like this http://lilyfieldlife.blogspot.com/2011/05/guest-post-deja-vu-and-explosion.html
although you've got the stencil now so you don't need to do it free hand.
cheers Fiona
