before and after: stenciled pieces

Jun 5, 2017 | Before & After, Milk Paint

If you’ve heard my story and how I started furniture painting, you know I used to stencil quite a bit. When my kids were younger, I stenciled trains and names, music notes and ABC’s. When I stenciled things for our home, I would use a paisley or damask or a “C” for our last name. 

Sometimes the speed with which pieces turn over at the store prohibit me from taking the extra time to stencil furniture. I decided to slow it down and throw it back with these two pieces (and was happy I did because they have already found new homes!). Both pieces were painted using Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint in Typewriter and I used a metallic paint, a stencil creme, for both.
