Dining table decoupage

More than a year ago, I “discovered” decoupage, and started to decoupage “everything that was on my way”. I was experimenting with various techniques, following many tutorials, and I am still learning.
I was so excited when I started, and wanted to make some drastic changes at home. And…the dinning table was one of my first attempt. I used napkins but not being experienced, the final result was not so excited.
Last week, I decided to redo the table. The mistakes I did the first time, actually eased the whole exercise. It was not very difficult to pill out the napkins.
Of course, with some help.

As you can see from the pictures, the first time I had applied the napkins directly on the table ,which was not a clever idea.
So, this time, I painted the table white and yellow, with two coats, and then put the napkins.

Hope you like the pattern. Remember the nightstand from the last post? I used the same colors and similar napkins
The chairs are already done. (here).

Nightstand makeover

This nightstand is the only piece of the old bedroom furniture that was left at home. For years it has been moved here and there, with no specific use. I wanted to try a decoupage by mixing two different napkins, so the nightstand was the perfect piece for it.
So, here it is.....painted, white and yellow, with a decoupage on the top.








I also painted this little chair legs white, and upholstered it with new fabric.
