My family and I won't be living in Toowoomba permanently. In fact, we are only going to be here for three years. So, our house is decorated with lovely Garage Sale stuff. We decide not to get brand new furniture here, so, we could do some savings through that. Plus, our house in Malaysia has already been beautifully-fully furnished. :)
We own a garden table that we got from GS long time ago. In my honest opinion, this table looks, not too great, but very useful for us. Abah would sit there when his friends come over for quick chats and have cups of coffees or teas or stuff like that. So, yea, to me, it seems not-too-welcoming for our guests to chill there.
I've always been wanting to replace our garden table. But instead, I replace 'the look' of the table.
I drew my ideas down on piece of paper and imagined that the design would turn up like this:
 |
| I really love it when Black, White, and Red are put together. (From Google Images) |
Before and During the making of it:
 |
| As you can see, the stripes were an initial step that I did to get the shown design. Those are only newspapers that I cut off. |
*I forgot to get some photos of my failure stage.*
After that, I decided to make the table look a bit flowery instead of stripy.
My next plan:
- Spray white paint on the table as a first layer to cover some rusty parts of the table. Wait till it dries.
- Cut some pieces of flowers and glue them on the dried white table. I used normal glue stick because it makes it easier to peel off the flowers later.
- Spray red paint on the table as a second layer to make the paint thicker and to get the flowery look. Wait till it dries.
- Peel off the flowers.
- Spray the legs black to get the black-white-red theme.
- Wallahhh~

| The white flowers are the ones that were already peeled off. And apparently, the red ones are the ones that weren't peeled off. |
