DIY Cutlery Graphic Dining Table and Chairs

Before:

 

 

 

Such a pretty table and who could resist those gorgeous spindle back chairs!

And After:

 

 

 Firstly I sanded the varnish off the entire table and all the chairs.  Then I applied a coat of White Knight Stain Stopper undercoat to prevent any tanin leaking through.  Finally I applied two coats of flat white.

 

I found the amazing vintage cutlery graphic on The Graphics Fairy, and was able to enlarge it dramatically using Block Posters.  

After printing the graphic out spanning over 9 A4 pages, I cut it out and matched up all the pieces on the table.  Then I used Mod Podge to secure it to the table.

I also sealed the top of the graphic with another coat of Mod Podge.

  Finally I applied 3 coats of clear furniture to the top of the table.

 

 

The chairs were lightly sanded around the edges and sealed with 2 coats of clear furniture wax.

I love the way it all turned out!  I'm adding this one to my favourites list! :)
