An unlikely pairing – a new side table

I created this side table today with a couple of pieces from around the house. I was inspired by Richmond Thrifter, who did such a fantastic job on her own table.

I used the top of this old table and a thrifted candle stick.

Caribbean Blue spray paint and gave it a couple of coats

I then dry brushed all of it with some white paint

I could have made a stencil of the Paris flower market, but didn’t want it to be permanent, so I cut it out of vinyl.
I then used a light grey paint mixed with glaze and gave the whole thing a once over. Best of all, I had everything in the house, so I didn't have to put out any money.

Update, Pam at DIY Design Fanatic asked for the cut file for the Paris flower market image; apparently you can use it with a Silhouette (although I don't know how) by importing the svg file. If you would like the svg, email me and I'll send it to you :)

    Such a great idea, I'll look at large candle sticks differently now.

    Absolutely positively LOVE this precious table! "Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery," right? Just remember that when I use your post for inspiration! (Ummm...and could you share where you found this delicious image?)
