Paint the sides and interior of the side table (and drawer front) with the chalky finish in treasure

Paint the top of the table and sides of the drawer in white chalky finish

Paint the inside of the drawer with the red (Romance) chalky finish

Paint the front trim with the Americana Metallic Gold

Place the ironed stripe fabric on the table top and line up the stripes

With the palm of your hand, press a crease around the edges of the fabric

*Use the creases as your cut lines

Paint the Americana Decou-Page on the top and adhere the fabric

Add another layer of Decou-Page to the fabric after it's in place

Repeat the process with the fabric around the base and on the sides of the drawer

Edge the table with a Krylon Short Cuts metallic paint marker

Drill a hole in the center of the drawer and add a knob if there isn't one there already

Hang a tassel from the knob and you're done
