Vintage Thrift Shop Two Tiered Table Up-Cycle
April 27, 2017
I found this sweet little two tiered table at the thrift shop last week. It has some water damage and the top tier was a little warped but it had possibilities. It was made by Mersman, a midcentury table company.
First, I painted the table with two coats of Rust-Oleum Chalked Paint in Country Gray
. I then stenciled the table with my new Mandala stencil from Hobby Lobby. The stencil only cost me $2.99.

I used the larger center Mandala design for the top tier and the corner stencils in four spots equidistant from the center on the bottom tier. I stenciled the designs with Delta Ceramcoat Acrylic Paint in Light Ivory
. This is my go to color for white or light stenciling. Then I used my FolkArt Layering Block
with the light ivory craft paint to faux distress the edges of the table. I have never used any craft paint but Ceramcoat Walnut Noyer to faux distress with my layering block. I like the new effect with light ivory paint.

I brushed on one coat of Rust-Oleum Matte Interior Chalked Sealer
to protect the chalk paint finish and stenciling on my table.

I think it's adorable!
A great $10 thrift shop investment!

This turned out so cute! My grandfather used to be a salesman for Mersman furniture back in the 50's.
ReplyDeleteThat is too sweet. I love round tables. We are building and I am thinking of how to have something by each bed and chair. I think I may need to find one like yours... pop on over to my new blog.... http://suddenly-southern.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable! What did you do about the warping & the water damage? Just paint over it? I didn't see where you said what you did.
ReplyDeleteAnother great find and salvage! I always love your stencil projects.
ReplyDeleteCarlene, I have a table just like that and I've been wondering what to do to it! I really like the way yours turned out. I might just copy what you did!
