If you have never stenciled before, the Herringbone stencil is a nice easy one to start with. Since it has such clean lines, it is really easy to line up and the design can easily be tidied up if there is any bleeding of the paint. I started off painting the table with Pure White Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. I then mixed the Pure White with some Paris Grey to apply with the stencil. One of the benefits with using the chalk paint is that it dries extremely fast!
I lined up the middle line of the stencil on the table and just used some painter’s tape to hold down the edges. I have used a foam roller with my past stenciling projects but used a paint brush for this project to stay with the more handpainted style that I wanted for the table. In less than 30 minutes, it was done! Soooo much easier than measuring and taping off lines!

What a great idea! It looks fantastic! Have a wonderful weekend!
Nice work, your table looks fabulous. ;o)
Looks wonderful! My one stencil project turned out horrible, the paint bled everywhere. I suppose it’s time I try again… how do you get the stencil lined up & taped in a new section, without ruining what you just painted?
It looks great! I love the herringbone pattern..lovely! And I think your basement looks very nice and cozy!
What a great makeover! I love it!!
Very chic! I have some remodeling to do soon. Yikes. Thanks fit the ideas!
Love it! Clean lines and so pretty.

This is great! We have a table that got banged up in a move and this has given me some ideas for revamping. Thanks for sharing.

I feel the same way about our basement. Although ours is still more dumping ground than hangout place! Maybe someday we’ll get around to fixing it up! Love how the table turned out! You did a beautiful job! I’ve never used Pure White before, but I love the modern look it gave your table!
I love this pattern! I just wish I was brave enough to use it in my own home. I’m too chicken, lol. Just wanted to let you know that this will be featured at Someday Crafts tomorrow, so come by and check it out!
