Stenciled Pocket Watch Children’s Desk

March 28, 2012 39 Comments

Whelp, I moved on to Round 4 in Every Creative Endeavor’s Creative Blogger’s Got Talent contest. The new projects are up now so please go vote! While I can’t tell you which project is mine, I can show you what I did for Round 3. So here we go!

A Stenciled Pocket Watch Children’s Desk!

And here’s what I started with…

I used two coats of Old White Annie Sloan Chalk Paint all over the base of the desk. Then I painted the drawers in ASCP Country Grey. My idea was to match some adorable pocket watch knobs I found at Michael’s for $1 each!

I then used my Cameo Silhouette to print out a stencil of a large pocket watch. I transferred it onto the table and lighting filled in the top of the white desk with the Country Grey ASCP.

I sanded the whole desk down a bit, used a coat of clear wax throughout and added the pocket watch hardware!

Aren’t the knobs adorable? Especially for $1 each!

And here’s how the stencil turned out! I distressed it so it was a little faded.

    This looks amazing! I love using my Silhouette to create stencil for painting. The little knobs are too cute :) I picked up some of their vintage-look knobs last year and they totally transformed a piece of furniture. Amazing what a difference the hardware makes.

    All the best,

    Claire

    Oh, Erin! It is soooo perfect! I just bought some knobs at Michael’s too! Mine were from the dollar bins, plus 70% off! Love, love, love the transformation!

    Wow. This is incredible. I love how the watch stencil doesn’t overpower anything, and the knobs are the perfect touch.

    Oh that is a great idea. And yes those knobs at Michaels and Hobby Lobby get me all the time. What a great way to have them all work together.
    thanks for sharing,
