Hey guys- so today is the last Tuesday for Trash to Treasure {Best of the Archives} with a few of my blogging BFFs. It’s been so much fun revisiting some of our favorite old makeovers! For the big finale I’m bringing back these beauties:
These were two separate makeover posts back in the day, but I’m combining them here for you – and you can visit the original posts for more detailed information. 🙂
I painted them both and then I chose vintage French advertisement graphics to transfer onto them. The graphics were printed onto transparency paper and transferred with an overhead projector (that I got from a local school) and a pencil.
Below is the 1st finished table – you can read more about this one HERE.
And what did I use to draw over the pencil? Sharpies! They can be so much easier than painting when you have an intricate design. Learn more about the 2nd table (below) HERE.
And here are the French advertisement tables, together again:
