DIY Personalized Lil Girls Table

I purchased this table for $20 from a local thrift store.  There were four pieces consiting of a table, two chairs, and a small step stool (not pictured).  This picture is AFTER I removed all the stickers and had began the sanding process.
The following pics are after the table and chairs were sanded and primed.  They were then painted white.


These are the stencils used to create my daughters name.  They were purchased at Wal Mart for $3.68.  I simply aligned the letters to create her name and carefully taped them together so they wouldn't shift while painting over them.
Her name has been painted onto the tables using the stencils.  I simply taped the stencil onto the table and painted onto the table.  Be careful not to use too much paint or the paint may seep through and create mistakes.
I painted numbers on the chairs.

Went to Ben Franklin Craft store and bought a stencil for $1.99.  I also bought a stencil sponge for $1.00.  I used those to put the fairy and butterfly designs on the chair.


I like it.  Most importantly Khloe likes it!!  She came home and was so surprised.  LOVE IT!!

Not sure if anyone noticed, but the letter H is upside down.  I wouldnt have noticed if two different people had not mentioned it.  I dont care.  I still love it.  LOL!

Idea came from this wonderful site (Design Sponge).

Love it! I think it came out really great and literally for much less than buying a swanky PB table!
