Hobby Hump Day

I’ve done some decoupaging before.

On a recent visit to Artmart here in St. Louis, I came across some wonderful papers and came up with two new decoupaging projects.

The first one is this table I had in my living room.

I’ve actually always hated this table, because its so non descript. However, its just always appeared in some room, because of its usefulness.

Before…

After…

I saw this orange paper online and was so excited when I found it at Artmart.

After I decoupaged it I sprayed it with some satin polyurethane to give it a good seal.

Hobby Humpday-Piper Ann’s Table

I’ve been wanting to get Piper Ann a table to go with her kitchen for sometime now. So, this year it will be her “big” Christmas gift.

I was inspired by these chairs and this table.

My mom got me this table and chairs from Ikea.

I decoupaged a flower paper to the seat…

Then I decoupaged a striped paper to the backs of the chairs…

Sorry about the bad photos, but I can’t photograph them during the day. Too many eyes with too many questions!
I haven’t put them together yet, because they’re a little more incognito and I can work on them more in the open. They just sort of blend in with the other mess of my sewing room.
