Scotch Blue Painting Party with a Striped Table and Giveaway!

Welcome to the ScotchBlue™ Painting Party! A group of fantastic DIY bloggers, including myself, all completed projects with the help of ScotchBlue™ Painter’s Tape with Edge-Lock™ Paint Line Protector. Now we’re giving you the chance to gather inspiration, have fun, and win prizes! If you’d like to start at the beginning of the party and see more tutorials, head to Brittany’s blog: Pretty Handy Girl .

I picked this former sewing table up last weekend for $5.99. It had already been gutted! Score! Most of these sewing tables I see at thrift shops have such great lines!! The size of this table is perfect for an entry table.

I sanded it down, primed it with black primer (another genius product) and sprayed it Rustoleum Canyon Black in satin. Then the fun began. I measured off stripes starting at the middle of the table and working out. Each one is 3 inches wide (2 pieces of tape).

I used BM Linen White with a roller over the tape...I did 3 coats because I needed to cover the black. I was really excited to take the tape off and when I did...yowza! PERFECT stripes! Honestly, I'd used other painters tape before, and always got bleeding underneath. Not with Scotch Blue edge-lock paint protector tape!

There was one side of one stripe that bled a little, but I think it was user error.

The next day, I distressed a bit and then glazed...and I love her now!

  13. Beautiful table! I would have never thought to makeover an old sewing table and reuse it for something else. Nice job!

    I would love for you to stop by and link up your project for Functional Friday.

  18. I'm not usually a fan of painting good wood, but this turned out great. I have a mid-Century record cabinet that needs a face lift so I can get it out of hiding. Stripes, chevrons, or plaids would be do-able with this tape. Thanks for letting us play along.
