parons table with quatrefoil stencil, quatrefoil painted table, Quatrefoil stencil on table, quatrefoil stencil with chalk paint
I’ve had this IKEA parsons table for years.
Its been used for many things, but right now it’s being used in the kitchen for a computer table. The white finish was quite worn, so I decided to give it a little update.
I used the same chalk paint recipe and color that I used on these end tables. I removed the legs and painted the entire thing with two coats, except for the top, which I painted white. 
Then I got my quatrefoil stencil (see how I made it here) that I’ve been dying to try out and stenciled the surface in grey. To finish it off I used minwax clear.
Oh my gosh… please ignore the mangle of cords!!! Not to mention the mess of papers! Now I know what one of my upcoming projects for 2012 should be!!
I’m loving this pattern! I’m already wondering what to use it on next!

Oh it’s beautiful! I love the stencil pattern. I tried making one myself to use in the kitchen but the walls were too heavily textured that it bled like crazy. I totally want to make another one to use elsewhere.
Nice job, really – that looks gorgeous! I’ve got this linked to my quatrefoil post too today, well done!
Thanks so much! I checked out some of the other projects you linked up… they’re great. 🙂
Hi – that’s a great idea. Love how you made the stencil – this re-do really only cost you very little money netting you big design! You brought the table into this decade!! Wonderful job.

Great tutorial on how you made the stencil and I LOVE it on the parsons table. Saw your link on DIY Project parade. Of course I pinned it 🙂

It looks beautiful! I love stencils!!! Great job!
I love your table! Great job on that stenciling… that takes a lot of time and patience!
This looks like a brand new table. You did a great job.
What a fabulous difference! Love quatrefoil!
gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous! the color combo, that stencil, set up for your office. fab!
It doesn’t even look like the same table, it really looks amazing. Stencils are great, and I love the pattern you choose. But I agree, put the CPU on the floor and look at your gorgeous creation. Thanks for sharing your creativeness over at Sunday’s Best!
Thanks! I have now put the CPU on the floor!! It does look a whole lot better… the only reason I hadn’t done this is that I have a very busy toddler that loves to push buttons and stick things where they don’t belong. So far, so good though!!
Your table looks amazing- don’t you just love stencils?!
Wow, you really brought life to that table… Great transformation! Thanks for sharing!
What a great looking table!! The stencil made a HUGE difference…I have an end table with that same design :o)
Great design. Love your makeover.
Oh my goodness! I love this and that stencil…the quatrefoil pattern is the best! Found you at 1929 Charmer link party.

What a transformation!!! beautiful job… totally dig the pattern 🙂
I LOVE it! Great job!
Thanks Catrina!
PS – I love wearing the teal scarf that I won!! It’s so adorable…. Thanks again!
Really pretty, but you should set your CPU on the floor not your desk top.
It looks like a brand new table. I love your color choices and that stencil pattern. Enjoy your table!
