Kid's Table Makeover

I am very excited to share this little project today.  We are currently working on creating a playroom/craft-room for our house and this is my first project for it.  A little table and chair set!

This is the before picture.  I found these at a thrift store for only $6.  They are from Ikea and you could buy the same set new for $20, but hey, I love a good deal. :)

I started by giving the table a light sanding and removing all of the stickers.  Then I painted the chairs and table top light blue.

Partway through I realized I should have used a primer because the marker was showing through so I slapped on a coat of primer and then added more blue.  Sometimes that's just how I roll.

To create the scalloped design, I cut up some pieces of painters tape.  Then I added dark blue paint.

Once that was done and the tape was removed, I needed to go back and clean it up a little bit with a small brush.  Finally, I sprayed it with a clear sealer.

I think my little girl is pretty happy with it.  So is giraffe.  And several other animals.  I'm looking forward to many tea parties in our near future.
