Small Table With Transfers!

So I found this little table for $10 on marketplace.  Nothing fancy... but I decided on trying out one of the Jami Ray Vintage Transfers on her site from IOD Transfers.  Oh I have so many more plans after discovering this little beauty!

Nothing fancy, just a little table.

Painted Linen White in DIY paint and then EASILY applied the IOD transfer.

It seriously gave a totally new look to this table!

Lightly distressed

The transfers come already lightly distressed and this turned out perfectly!  Sealed it with Big Top (3 coats) and let it dry for a couple days.  Turned out amazing and I can't wait to try these transfers on another piece!!!

Mermaid Mirror

So... this was a brown mirror that I had in the closet... massive and super heavy!  It went to a dresser I got sold a while back.  I painted it yellow and it didn't have that "wow" factor I was looking for... so... Let's see what I can do with the SPIT!

Kinda plain... not really what I wanted.

So I decided to try a mermaid color on the mirror.  It was looking good and I liked the way that they were blending together.

This medium is super easy to use and extremely forgiving!

I love the way that it turned out!

Not so forgiving on the hands.  Everyone at work knows when I have been playing with SPIT!  My hands stay like this for a couple days, lol!

Turned out beautiful for the baby's room!  She loves to look at herself!

Rusty Old Planter

I have been on a roll!  I had this planter for a while.  I didn't know I could use the Unicorn Spit on metal!!!  Well, I coated it with Modge Podge and then attempted a patina style paint on it.  It turned out beautifully!  Sealed it with Poly!

Blanket Ladder

Hubby built me a blanket ladder and for weeks I tried to figure out what to do with it.  So I decided that I would use this new product I discovered called Unicorn Spit.  Raw wood is what I started with.  I sanded everything all smooth and then wiped it down really good to get rid of the dust and let it dry out completely.

Then I took a little of the Unicorn Spit (US) and watered it down like watercolor paint.  Then I just kinda slapped it on there and used my fingers to smooth it all out.

It ended up looking like this.  Kinda rainbow colors.  I liked it and I thought it was pretty but just a little bright for my living room.  So... 

I grabbed some stain and just lightly rubbed it on there with a paper towel right over the colors.  I wasn't sure how it would turn out but I really like it!

It muted the colors.  I actually had to take it outside to be able to see the US under the stain.

It's there but not there.

Isn't that beautiful!  I love how that turned out!  I sealed it with polycrylic and used 2 coats and let it dry for about a week.

It looks like a stained blanket ladder when in the house... until you open the curtains, then you can see the colors underneath.  I love it!  I will be using this technique with more items!!!

Round Coffee Table Redo

I actually redid this table just before Christmas but I am terrible about posting on here!  So I had this coffee table for a while and at first I liked the teal.  But as I started changing my living room decor out I decided that it needed a change.  I searched for so long for a round table with these legs on it, so out came the paint!  It took forever to sand it down but when I did there was a beautiful pattern in the wood on the top!  I love surprises like that!  So... Stain the top and paint it white!

I loved how it turned out!  The white sure did make this piece!  I painted it with DIY Linen and sealed it with Big Top, both of which can be found by clicking the pic to the right with the link for Jami Ray Vintage. I love their paints!  You should really check it out!  One of the main reasons I use this is because it doesn't have all the chemicals in it that regular paint has.  You can actually paint inside with it with no harsh fumes!

I adore the details on the side piece.  You can see some of the teal, but I actually like the way it turned out though.  It was a sweet surprise!

See what I mean about the table top?  I absolutely love the top!

You can see some of the teal peeking through on the legs as well, but I like it.  I think that it gives it more character.
