French Typography Coffee Table
![]() |
The French Advertisement was downloaded from Graphic Fairy, and I had it enlarged at staples. I colored the back of the enlarged print with Oil Pastel Chalk. I then turned it over and centered it in the middle of the table, and went over the letters with a Pencil pressing with medium force. When I was done I lifted the Print, and below were the transferred letters. I hand painted the Advertisement with a mixture of Black Acrylic and Black Latex paint. I applied two more coats of Antique Stain. After that was dry I applied a clear layer of Polyurethane on the top. |

I love the weathered look of the pine with all it's nicks, made all the more visible by the stain. |

A great table you would not be afraid to put your feet up on! |

I knew as soon as I saw it, that I would be painting it Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Duck Egg Blue. I also used her Old White Paint as well. |

I kept the original Gold Trim, and I sanded the edges. |

I applied Annie Sloan's Clear Soft Wax, and also her Dark Soft Wax, removing some and adding more, as I moved along. I hope you enjoy this little Gem! |
Happy Creating!
