Desk Into Changing Table

Our church needed a changing table for our small bathroom. We bought a red desk from a vendor mall for $39 and decided to transform it.

I am an amateur DIYer to say the least, but I decided to give this table redo a try for our church. Instead of repainting the entire table we decided that we would paint a white stencil pattern on top. 

We found a quatrefoil pattern stencil and a "Love" stencil at Hobby Lobby and used some white acrylic paint.

 I do not know anything about painting a table or painting with stencils, so I just jumped in and went for it. 

I positioned the stencil and used masking tape (I forgot blue painter's tape and did not have the stencil adhesive) to keep it in place. I used a sponge brush and a regular small paint brush and just went to town. 

It turned out pretty good, but the stencil did bleed through. But to my surprise, the bleeding looked like it was supposed to be there. Next time I will not be so generous with the paint. 

The finished product turned out great and it works perfect in our small church bathroom.
