My husband, daughter and I were driving home one Sunday several weeks ago and we all spotted the beautiful old mahogany magazine table at the same time.
My daughter yelled out “Look at that!”
I pulled the car over.
My husband jumped out to save it from the curb and put in our trunk.
No one saw us … I don’t believe.
But if they are reading now I don’t think they would even recognize the table they kicked to the curb. She’s all pretty now thanks to Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in French Linen, a wash of Old White, and some beautiful French label graphics from The Graphics Fairy.
* Unfortunately I was so excited to begin painting this gem that I forgot to take a before photo. But imagine dark scratched mahogany wood longing to be painted.*
And she shines even brighter thanks to my friend Kira of Abigail Thomas Photography! Kira has photographed many of my painted pieces however her specialty is photographing kids and families. Give her a call! Thank you, Kira!

Love the Table, What transfer method did you use?
julie
Thank you! I used Artisan Enhancements Transfer Gel.
Love this table, congrats:)
Love it! You did a very nice job.
Hi Kristin, I have been using the same method and have not been as successful at having the whole transfer stick. What is your secret?
I used a very wet rag and wiped off the paper pulp in stages. I’d say it took at least three rounds of wetting and wiping, letting it dry, and wetting and wiping again. Hope that helps!
Your blog works very well too. It’s user friendly. I don’t know how to do a blog, is it hard to learn? Your curbside treasure is lovely. Can you direct me to a tutorial on the Artisan Enhancements Transfer Gel? Lot’s of questions, sorry you’re probably very busy! Meris
Thank you! I don’t know of any tutorials on the Artisan Enhancement Tranfer Gel. The instructions on the side of the container were what I followed.
Just beautiful Hazel, great work and I love that your whole family participated in the find and rescue lol
Thank you! …Kristin
