Starfish Stenciled Side Table

By Wendi Wachtel

 

Starfish stenciled side table for the monthly Themed Furniture Day #paintedfurniture

Today is Themed Furniture Day, it’s one of my favorite days of the month. I belong to a talented group of furniture refinishing bloggers who get together and share a themed project. This month our theme is small tables. My project is a pretty little coastal starfish stenciled side table. It’s an easy project that anyone can do in an afternoon. At first, I thought it might be too simple of a project. After thinking about it for a few days, I realized that every project does not need to be a complex mix of paints and techniques.

Sometimes simple is better.

This table has been sitting in my garage for months. I must have had an idea for it at one time because the top was already primed. For the life of me, I can’t remember where I planned on putting it much less what I thought I’d do with it!

I used a few coats of Robins Egg Blue from Maison Blanche all over. Next, I gave the entire table a light sanding with 320 grit sandpaper before stenciling the starfish onto the top.

I stenciled the starfish randomly across the top and put a few half off of the edges. Last, I gave it a few coats of clear wax.

There you have it. Simple. That’s all there was to this little starfish stenciled side table makeover. This would look darling in a sunroom, a casual living room, or even in a coastal beachy bedroom.

Me? Where am I planning on putting it? I’m still not sure 🙂

      Thanks so much for the compliment and the invitation:) I love my little table… even if I am still trying to find room for it! Thanks so much for your visit!

    How darling this is! I used to be quite an enthusiastic stencil artist, back when this was so popular. This has really set my creative juices flowing, so the hunt is now on to find a table to embellish. Thanks for the inspiration!

      Pattie..I’m thrilled to have inspired you to create something special! I’m fairly new to using stencils and now am beginning to see the potential of creative finishes that can be achieved with them.

    I really like this Starfish table you created, Wendi. It gives me an idea for a stand I would like to put on my deck in back of the house. Thanks for sharing it at Idea Box link party!!

    This is so cute. My husband was looking over my shoulder and even he said, “That’s cute.” Our bathroom is done in a beach theme. I wish we had room for something like this in there.

      Thank you Stephanie! It would look great in a bathroom with a coastal motif. Mine are all too small too. I hope I’ve inspired you to try something with the idea.. how about shelves, pictures frames on the wall or towels with the blue and white starfish?

      Hi Amy, This little table would look great on an outdoor patio 🙂 Like your sister, I think everything is better with a few shells and starfish!

    Oh Wendi! Your table is perfect. The simplicity of the starfish is just what it needed. Thanks for sharing and I am happily pinning 🙂

    What a cutie! Makes me wish I was at the beach. 😉 Great job Wendi, have a wonderful holiday weekend!

    • Wendi says

      Thank you! I’m always game for a beachy theme project:) You have a fantastic holiday weekend as well!

    • Wendi says

      It would! Without a doubt and if I lived closer we’d have fun finding a spot for it in your place too.

    • Wendi says

      Thanks Larissa.. I like the simpleness of it…and the color is the perfect shade of blue for a coastal home.. I can’t get enough of it this year!

    • Wendi says

      Such a good idea… a flip flop station! I’m looking at the table now thinking about what kind of basket I’d put underneath it! LOL

    This table is perfect for you coastal home. I like both the color you used and the starfish stencil. I don’t think it will take you long to find a place for this.
