How to Decorate a Postcard Table
I just love !!
I started with this old table I was using by my front door.
I painted it Old White with my prize can of Annie Sloan's Chalk Paint.
( Here is the first coat)
I sanded, distressed and waxed the table.
I printed out the postcard image from The Graphics Fairy
and I drew the image by hand...
(just don't ask me what it says...)
Then I lightly sanded the image.
And here's the table back by my front door only looking a LOT better!
