Retro Stenciled Side Table Drawer

I haven't painted furniture in a long time but I've been wanting to try this fun idea for a while now!


I wanted to turn a boring old end table I had into a beauty but didn't want to work too hard! 


I added a retro stenciled drawer liner that was perfect for this little table!

I love the look of the stenciled drawer liner and the sides of the drawer. 


Today, I began with an old side table that was in the basement for a long time.

The table was damaged in several areas so a good coat of paint and a little distressing was going to it wonders.

I began by painting the table with Fusion Mineral Paint in Inglenook, a beautiful retro green.

Fusion Mineral Paint needs no prep work so I just wiped down the table and began painting. 


When the paint was dry I distressed the edges with sandpaper.

Now for the decorative accent!

I'm using one of brand new Funky Junk Interiors Old Sign Stencils called Retro Star.


I know I'm going to find a lot of uses for this cute stencil! 


I pulled out the painted drawer from the side table and stenciled the stars to the inside and sides of the drawer.

I used Coal Black Fusion Mineral Paint for the stenciling.

Usually I add some kind of decorative drawer liner to my painted furniture but today I'm trying something new.

I added another star to the center of the drawer under the glass knob.

Now the side table is perfect for the guest room!
