Custom Diy Stenciling & Staining Furniture!

Stencil together with Stain furniture!
Here's some alarming earlier together with afters...


I began alongside a nightstand that was inward seriously bad shape.
Glue, dents, dings, H2O stains, sticker goo...you lift it...
this affair was disgusting!
The redeeming characteristic is that they were REAL wood...
I knew nosotros could run alongside it!
The stool was inward comparable shape. Thankfully they were inexpensive at yard sales.
The crate I built from combat forest from the garage...and spare casters.
I spent a lot of fourth dimension sanding things down.
I am too inexpensive to purchase a $40-50 stencil for a projection I am going to utilization once...
therefore I improvise together with brand my own.
I inserted my thick plastic correct into my silhouette cameo.
Once I tweaked the quatrefoil background I wanted...I had the cameo "cut" it.
This plastic is much too thick to convey the cameo cutting it out though.
It did score the lines though...and that's what I wanted!
Then I spent hours cutting it out.
Yeah, it was like shooting fish in a barrel going...but my boy together with I listened to some of the Hobbit on cd, 
therefore that was fun.
I e'er pose an x on the within of where I am cutting...sometimes,
y'all (okay, me) are therefore closed to something together with y'all snap
 and laid out cutting out the incorrect parts!
Done at last!
With no fourth dimension to spare...I stair out the surfaces of everything to
stencil together with marked a tiny x on the center.
Then I lined upwards my stencil together with started inward the middle.
Here's the secret...repositionable spray.
Keep it inward house land y'all work!
I used a parisian slightly off-white pigment that I 
had sitting to a greater extent than or less together with a stipple brush
One y'all exercise the stenciling...you hold off until the pigment is totally
dry out earlier pressing it downwards i time again together with ikon the side yesteryear side piece.
But it worked pretty well, because I had therefore many surfaces that
needed to live painted...so I simply went to a greater extent than or less until all the centers
were painted together with and therefore the commencement i was create for purpose 2, together with therefore on.
At commencement I wasn't going to stencil the sides of the nightstand...
equally good I had run out of white paint! But it needed it, therefore I got out some
acrylic pigment together with did it.
Not a perfect pigment match, but closed enough.
Well, they however looked like shooting fish in a barrel to me, therefore I edged them inward aqua blue.
together with allow them dry out over night.
Oh, ya, painted the within of the drawers too!
And used upwards all my aqua pigment equally well!
Next twenty-four hr menstruum was the fun!
Staining!
I used black walnut stain. I wanted it dark...so I painted it on alongside a 
paintbrush together with and therefore rubbed off the excess alongside an former rag. 
Repeated over all the surfaces. I honey how it makes the stencil popular out!
Gives it a rich look!
Once the staining was done...the knobs together with handles needed replacing.
I had a ton of random knobs I got at a yard sale...none match.
together with they were gold.
I simply sprayed them all brassy copper together with they tally perfectly now!
See how perfectly they run alongside the stained wood?
And here's a bunch of finished production pictures!
Perfect picayune matching chamber set!
