Updating a Thrifted Find with Stain and Stenciling

February 17, 2016 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

Today I am sharing a quick update to an old thrifted find using stain and stenciling.  I first shared this find on Thrift Shop Thursday #18.  As you can tell, I am so into wood trays, wood signs, and cutting boards at the moment!

Unfinished tray/cutting board from the Thrift Shop.

This update was super easy.  I stained the wood and let it dry.  I then used my Cricut Cutter and cut out the letter K and used it as a stencil. I then used black paint and stippled it over the stencil.  I used the black to tie it in with the black hooks on the wall shelving.

The only thing I might do differently with this tray/cutting board is add a few more coats of stain to make it a bit darker.  I want to live with it like this for a while then see how I feel in a few days before I jump in and add more stain.

I had everything on hand so this was a free update and a great project to work on while be snowed in again!  At this rate, the Gman will be going to school until the end of June!  Don’t get me wrong I love snow days, I only wish they did not have to make them up at the end of the year.  I am so over school by the end of May that it is a struggle getting them out the door after that!

I hope you enjoy this quick and easy update to an old thrifted find!

Until Next Time,
