Quatrefoil Stenciled Cabinet

Once again, I can't find the before picture of this cabinet, but it was similar to the one below.

I bought three of these vintage 70's end tables at the DAV for 89 cents apiece

about two years ago. I have just had so many other projects, these got pushed

back to the end of the line.

So finally, it was time for one of them.

I painted it with a mistint from Wal-mart called brown sugar.

It looks more like latte to me, but either way it sounds yummy.

I used one of my daughters stencils, a quatrafoile one, and did the top only.

I dry brushed a burnt umber craft paint over the stencil and then sanded it down in areas.

I also distressed the paint and sprayed the hardware with oil rubbed bronze to add more contrast. 

It sold the first week it was in the shop, so I apologize for not getting better pics.

I have to admit that I frequently criticize my own work alot, so it makes me

feel much better when it sells quickly.  Do you ever get that feeling that what you

have done looks stupid. I wish I could get over that.

Oh, by the way I sold it for $59.00, so that was a nice profit!
