Updated side table

Paint a side table and add a decorative motif for an instant update.

1. Change the colour of your side table using paint that’s meant to adhere to the material your side table is made of.
2.  Allow the paint to dry completely.
3. Tape or stick a decorative stencil in place.
4.  Dip a stencil paint brush into a contrasting paint colour, then blot most of the paint off on a paper towel.
5.  Lightly dab the paint brush onto the stencil, keeping the brush vertical to prevent paint from seeping in under the stencil.
6.  Remove the stencil while the paint is still wet.
7. Allow the paint to dry completely.
