8. Vintage Lace Stencils for Dressers or Consoles

Lace stencils mimic the delicate patterns of traditional fabric lace. They create a vintage, romantic feel and pair beautifully with shabby chic or farmhouse décor.

Why It Works

Lace designs add fine detail and texture without requiring complex painting techniques. They give old furniture a refined, antique-inspired look.

How to Do It

  1. Paint the furniture in a pastel or neutral shade.
  2. Lay the lace stencil across drawers or tabletops.
  3. Apply white or cream paint for a soft, blended effect.
  4. Lightly sand edges for a distressed finish if desired.
