Woah! This yellow color blended floral entry table is a project that is WAY our of my comfort zone pulling in colors from fall!!
We see them as colors from fall but many of you may use these colors in your home year round!
It is a beautiful color palette.....just far away from my standard bright and cooler tones.

So... why THIS color palate?
So why did I choose to this color palate?
Because I enjoy a challenge! You know this!
I also like the outlined vibe of these florals. They are not meant to look real at all. They are clearly meant to look hand drawn....or almost "pop-arti-ish"....which is a style I really like.
They very much remind me of my own style of drawing/painting.
The Before: Thift Store Find!
I found this adorable entry way (or foyer if you're fancy) piece at my local thrift store for next to nothing!
I loved the shape of it and felt it was perfect for the size and flow of this Timeless Petals Transfer.

Yellow Color Blended Floral Entry Table Makeover
Time for a color challenge (for me)! Let me walk you through my process.
Prepping Entry Table for Design Transfer
After a really good clean with White Lightning.... I painted the entire body of the piece in Colonel Mustard Yellow.
Do you remember THIS Butterfly Nightstand I did recently? It uses the exact same color palette with a completely different look.
Once dry I created a blended look using Lemonade in the middle for the highlight....and Mud Puddle around the outer edge as the lowlight.
And to finish it off....I painted the top of the piece as well as the bottom trim in Coffee Bean...and blended that into the Mud Puddle a bit to deepen it for a more dramatic look.
Applying the Timeless Petals Floral Transfer
The transfer itself was very easy to apply.
It comes as one large bouquet.....as well as an entire sheet of individual flowers and smaller bouquet that you can sprinkle around your creation or add to the large bouquet to make it even bigger.....which is what I did.
I wanted the final florals to almost reach each side. So I just continued to add extra florals and greenery until my bouquet was nice and fluffy on the sides!
And finally...STRIPES!
I just couldn't leave this piece looking so serious!
I used the Lemonade with the Colonel Mustard to create stripes on both sides.
I then buried my stripes by shading the outer edges with Mud Puddle and a bit of Coffee Bean.
The Finished Look: Yellow Color Blended Floral Table
The entire piece, including the transfer design, is top sealed with a clear satin top coat.
The original hardware was updated with Coffee Bean which I love!
The whole piece makes me happy!
To be honest.....I also LOVED this piece in just the bright happy yellow! This was already such an update!
Taking a piece from dark and dreary to "hello look at me now" is so satisfying!
I hope this blog inspires you check out your local thrift store for something to have fun with....or maybe something dark and forgotten about in your own home!
