TIPS & TRICKS
• High gloss finishes always appear nice when the
surface is smooth to begin with. If needed,
lightly sand smooth any rough areas using a fine
grit sandpaper prior to painting and between paint
applications. Remember to wipe away sanding
dust before applying the next coat.
• When painting with Waverly Inspirations Multi-
Surface High Gloss paint, it is best to always paint
using a light touch using long, smooth brushstrokes.
Allow the paint to glide off the bristles of brush
rather than pushing the paint onto the surface
with pressure.
• A good way to measure and cut the Waverly
Inspirations fabric for the interior of each drawer is
to cut the sides separate from the bottom. Measure
and cut approximately
1
/2˝ “taller” than the height
of the side measurement. When attaching the sides,
allow the extra
1
/2˝ to “flow” onto the base or
bottom of the drawer. This trick will ensure complete
fabric coverage should an accident happen and fabric
be cut too small. Follow through by cutting and
adding the bottom piece after the sides are in place.
You may also find it easier to allow the sides to dry
first before applying the bottom.

SLEEK CONTEMPORARY END TABLE
by Karen Reif
The High Gloss formula of Waverly Inspirations Multi-Surface Paint is perfect when
brushed on furniture requiring a modern look. Not only is the paint finish durable, the
high sheen is sleek which provides a modern twist to an old piece. But what makes this
revamped piece of furniture special, is the combined use of Mod Podge and Waverly
Inspirations Fabric to line the drawers. The lined drawers add just the right finishing touch!
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Using a screwdriver, remove all drawer pull hardware
and set aside.
2. Clean the previously finished surface with household
glass cleaner to remove dust, dirt or grease deposits.
3. Pour a small amount of Waverly Inspirations Multi-
Surface High Gloss Paint – Ocean into a foam bowl as
a palette or load a Waverly Inspirations Basecoating
Brush directly from the paint bottle.
4. Apply Ocean to the entire exterior surface of the two
drawer end table using long, smooth brushstrokes and
allow to dry. (photo 1) Clean the basecoating brush
then allow both the brush and the painted side table
to thoroughly dry, approximately one hour.
5. If needed, lightly sand the painted surface smooth.
6. For opaque coverage reapply an even application
of Ocean. (photo 2) Allow to thoroughly dry,
approximately 1 hour.
7. Using a ruler, measure the interior of each drawer.
Cut Waverly Inspirations fabric to match these
measurements.
8. Working one drawer at a time, brush a liberal amount
of Mod Podge Matte onto the interior of the drawer.
(photo 3) Press the precut fabric onto the wet Mod
Podge; smooth out wrinkles, press the fabric into
the corners and along edges, release any captured
air bubbles and wipe away any excess Mod Podge.
The Mod Podge will serve as the glue to attach the
Waverly Inspirations fabric to the interior of each
drawer. Allow 20 - 30 minutes to dry and although
not necessary, if desired, a topcoat of Mod Podge
can be brushed over the fabric in place. Allow to
thoroughly dry.
9. Replace all hardware. (Refer also to project photo
on page 30.)
