Chevron Side Table

I can't believe it's taken me this long to actually do something with chevron. 

I think I was scared to try and 

get all of those angles wrong and inconsistent. 

For whatever the reason, I have put it off

that is until

 today.

I got this really sad looking side table at a garage sale for $5.00, the top was a mess.

(had a hard time finding anything good about this fake wood table)

I primed with KILZ

(of course)

 then I painted the drawers pewter grey and the body smoke gray

(does anyone else notice that KRYLON spelled grey/gray both ways)

then I made my stencil from a cereal box

I know the stars were aligned when it

 fit both side to side and up and down perfectly.

  painted the stripes white.

(see how even the spacing is)

I'm telling you I feel like I need to go and buy a lotto ticket,

 

and DONE

I left the hardware the orginal colour because

 I really like the contrast of the cool paint colours

 against the warm brass.

This looks so much better.

Just going to put a couple of coats of poly on to give it a glossy finish,

I just couldn't wait to snap some pictures.
