My coffee table has seen better days so I pulled it out to the garage and gave it a coat of heirloom white and dressed it up a bit with a simple stencil design all the while handing out treats to the costumed kids. My neighborhood is crazy, 6 bags of candy in 2 hours! I love to hand paint but when you want to give something a little extra with minimal work and time involved stenciling is sometimes the way to go.

| And an hour while watching the World Series to stencil. |

| There really are touches of green in the scrap book paper, I swear I am capable of matching. |

Instead of using mod podge, I used spray adhesive to secure the paper and then podged over the paper. Not a one bubble. I saw this in blog land but I visit so many of you I forgot who this awesome idea came from. She used fabric on her redo. If you know who she is please drop me an email so I can give credit where credit is due :) OK update, I found her the "adhesive girl" ....Kim @ Second Time Furniture. Thanks Kim!
