Some fun around the home! A new table for the TV room

I've been trying to use some of my Mom and Dad's things in our home just to have them close. Nothing fancy, just things that make me smile. This is a recent project with their little breakfast table. I'm putting it upstairs in the game/tv room.

First I cleaned it real good with soapy water and then sprayed Windex to remove any soap left on the wood. The plan is to make it somehow bring out our movie theme. Think think think. Oh! Movie sayings!!

Here is the link to the rub-on movie phrases shown below ordered from Amazon.

Here is the little two leaf table before. The sayings came on a sheet so first I cut them apart to begin planning their placement.

I choose a peacock blue paint I got in the bargain bin at Lowe's for the table top.  Used an almost dry brush --  one coat.

It was pretty easy to rub the letters with a wooden tongue depressor type thingy. I had a couple of peeling paint issues (paint sticking to the paper) but I figured it out and moved on. 

I made pencil marks to keep the sayings even. Afterwards I used a clear sealer over the top. Three coats. Then a single coat of satin Minwax.

And here it is!! 

We love it!!!
