Yard Sale Finds can become Treasures

It's the thrill of the hunt: to take discarded items from yard sales or flea markets and recreate them as one-of-a-kind accent pieces. Often all it takes is a bit of paint and a discerning eye to transform trash into treasure.

# what you'll needTSP+
# sandpaper
# alkyd primer

# gold craft paint
# instant stencils or stencil motif

1. Wash table with TSP+, prime and paint.

2. Stencil on desired motif. (In the picture, an instant stencil was rubbed onto the surface to create the decorative detail.)
