I can type blog titles without exclamation points, see? Before I get to the table, make sure to check out the two giveaways this week!
I have to say this table is one of my new favorites. I’ve been dying to give my new projector a go, and this coffee table was just the perfect thing. Inspired by Red Hen Home, I took a deep breath, picked the perfect vintage text from The Graphics Fairy, and started to work.
Because I had to turn the lights off so the projector would work, there are no photos of me working on this table. I guess I could have showed my spraying the table white, but that’d be pretty boring.
Anyhoo…you ready to see the finished product?
Ta-da! (Please ignore the patchy sunlight. I gotta work with what I got.)

I’m in lurve!
This project definitely appealed to my meticulous, perfectionist nature. Did anyone else enjoy coloring between the lines as a kid? Yeah, I was that kid. Don’t hate.
I’ll keep this post short and sweet. Just wanted to share a picture or two!

Hi, my name is Kristin and I'm a Mississippi girl!
Chi-Chi Studio Designs is the culmination of my love for antique hunting, thrift store bargains, and beautiful furniture makeovers. What began simply as a hobby has become a fun, full-fledged business. I am in no way a professional blogger but I do enjoy sharing my painting projects. I hope you have as much fun reading my blog as I do writing it. Welcome to my playground!
It's beautimous! Is that the same table you had already painted or a new one?
Hi Kristin, Thank you for visiting my blog & your nice comment! These tables are beautiful! And I also think – someday – I might be able to write something without lots of exclamation points, too! But not today!
what a gorgeous table, just love it! Thanks for linking!

New follower here. I love this table. I saw you featured on another blog I follow. It's nice to meet you and I look forward to your posts. I hope you will take a moment to stop by my blog and check out my kind of fashion (hair jewelry). I'm not just trying to gain followers with hopping, I'm trying to spread the word about a product I love. Here's my url http://talesfrommyjournal.blogspot.com I also have a facebook page which is http://www.facebook.com/DeniseMartin.LillaRose I hope you can stop by there as well. It's the fastest way to hear about specials.

OMG I love it. I've always been a fan of french typography art and when you combine that with a cute little white table I'm in love! Great job.
Fab to the max! Looks oh-lala!

Too cute! Love it!
You did a beautiful job!
It looks amazing! And yes, I was one of those wierd kids who enjoyed staying inside the lines as well
Thank you so much, ladies! I'm in the process of visiting your blogs–can't wait to see your stuff!
Gorgeous – love it! Want it!
I'm visiting from the graphics fairy…. love the table. I have one of similar size that I'm thinking of doing in one of her graphics. This gives me some inspiration!
Love this- it's so charming! Thanks for sharing at Feathered Nest Friday!
You did a great job! This table turned fantastic!
Could you please explain me how you transfer the text with the projector??
Thank you so much for share!

Hi Kristin,
I am loving your tables! I caught the bug too and have been experimenting to see what transfer works best for me. I have tried the graphite paper transfer method–it works but is messy. I have tried Citra Solve and really wanted to like it, but it dissolved the paint as I was transferring. Ugh! Someone online works with a "blending pen"…I haven't tried that yet. But this projector lamp idea is intriguing. I am going to try it.
I am your newest follower.

Thank you, Charlotte! Citra Solve was tricky for me, too, and I only used it on tea towels! I've never heard of a blending pen before…I might have to give that a try. The projector and a paint pen, though, are my two best friends when it comes to stuff like this.
Good luck with your future projects!
Came here via GF, love your table! I am one of those perfectionists that still likes coloring inside the lines and all…..
Thank you, Rupa! You’re the fourth or fifth person to ask me the same question about the table; I’ll try to get one up soon!
Forgot to ask how you did the image….could you please share a tutorial on how to do this? I am new to projector/pen method…do you basically trace over the projected image? Projectors are expensive I am told, just asking
Hope you don’t mind, thanks!
