At least according to my latest project I do.
I found this cute little side table at a thrift shop for $10. Forgot to take a before picture, but she was just a dark brown.
From the moment I spied her I thought, “this girl has style”.
Love her legs and twisted design!
This weekend I gave her a coat of white paint and sanded her gently. I then decided to try the Modge Podge transfer method. I know, I’m a little slow. A lot of you have been doing this.
I have wanted to try it, but have never taken the time till now.
Most of you will know how, but in case you don’t, here’s what I did.
I printed the design from my Print Outs Pinterest Board with our regular ink jet printer, (Don’t forget to reverse the image or your words will be backwards). I have read that you will get truer colors if you use a laser. .
I wanted a time worn look so decided that it probably wouldn’t matter.
Just cut around your image with just a little paper edging and apply Modge Podge to the front side of it. Place on the wood and gently smooth out any wrinkles. Now BE PATIENT! Let it dry over night.
In the morning dampen it with a wet sponge and gently rub the paper off. Voila! Easy peasy!
I think I may have rubbed a little too hard. Notice that a tiny bit of the design rubbed off? Didn’t bother me in the least. Just gave it a more aged character. Afterwards I finished her with a soft rub of wax.
Now I am wondering, What took me so long to try this? Super easy and fun!
I think she’s a sweet addition to my floral chair.
And perfect to tie in my open family room with our "Farmhouse Basement Kitchen"
How about you? Got Milk?

Lovely legs and style on that little table.
I have never tried the mod podge method and you make it sound so easy. I have an old box wanting a redo so I think I might try it. Now I just have to find the box.
O my, that table is just the cutest.
Really cute makeover, Jann.
What an adorable little table! I just love it...and that kitchen! OMWord! It is SO lovely...I love everything about it. Nothing says farmhouse kitchen more than red and white!! You did an awesome job :)
Hello Jann, I just love that little end table! What fun re-doing it! I have a real problem with these cute little tables :)

So cute... You have inspired me!

Adorable!!~~Angela
Jann! Your table is adorable! I'm so glad you told how you did it--I haven't tried it either but I love the result! Once I get a computer and back to blogging (no, I still don't have one), I'm gonna use the technique on some living room make-overs. So Thanks! I need that! lol
Miss you!

Hi Jann. I think you did a great job on this little bargain. It is really perfect as a side table. Have you ever had anyone set a wet glass or something similar on a Mod Podged surface? I had a bad experience and I'm wondering if I would need to use polyurethane over the Mod Podge. Your thoughts?
Great little table! Also wanted to let you know that I added your link to my David post, I just forgot the first time. See you Thursday at Share Your Cup!

This turned out great! I'd love for you to share it at We Call It Olde, a new party started yesterday, not too late! Take care - Dawn @ We Call It Junkin.com
She does have nice legs! I like how you have finished her.
I've never tried this technique, but I'm going to now since your table turned out so nicely!
Now all you need atop it is an old milk bottle!!!
I saw the comment before me and just cracked up because you most certainly are likely to have an old milk bottle somewhere, right ? If not you'll find one! :)
VERY cute table / what a lovely job!
Pretty leg indeed!
LOVE your table, Jann! The legs are so pretty and of course I adore anything chippy with a transfer on it. Lovely job! Thanks for sharing this at my HOME.
Blessings,
Sandi
It turned out great! I have a bunch of tables that need something new in my home and this is definitely a method I will be trying. Thanks so much for the inspiration!
Ashley Rane Sparks
That table turned out so cute.
