Chalk paint end tables, french graphic end tables, french postmark end tables, shabby chic end table
I bought these tables months ago and boy was I relieved when they were finally finished. Not every project I paint turns out the first time around {believe me!!}. For these tables it was more like third time lucky. The first two attempts involved subway art, scrap booking paper and Mod Podge. It seemed the more I tried to complicate things, the less I liked the result. So, I decided in the end to keep things simple…
I used them in this photo to display my French Flower Buckets before I transferred the postmark image onto them…
I don’t think you can go too far wrong with vintage white and a Graphics Fairy image. I hope you are all enjoying your week…
Don’t forget to check out my VERY FIRST GIVEAWAY EVER going on until August 6th!
Cheers!

Well they look gorgoeus now Kathryn. I sometimes have to re-do a make-over too, but then it is twice the fun.
I’d love it if you’d consider sharing this post at Shabbilicious Friday ~ http://shabbyartboutique.blogspot.com.au/2012/07/shabbilicious-friday-link-party-july_27.html

Came over from graphics Fairy to see your table. I need inspiration to complete two and your simplistic approach seems to work beautifully. Time to go paint!

These are frantastic! You are so talented. I love this stuff. I am going to try my hand at the flower pots and I am a nervous wreck. I bought to small ones to practice on and then I will move up to the ones I want to keep and I want to give two as a gift for a birthday gift.
