Create this with Chalk Paint, Acrylic paints, Cricut Vinyl, and Polycrylic Water Based Sealer (I like Minwax). 

 

1. Purchase or find a piece of furniture that you would like to paint. I decided to paint mine white first using Chalk Paint. 

 

2. Select your theme, colors & pick one to four items to highlight from those.  In mine, I selected a Crab, Jellyfish, and two ocean scenes for the sides. I went for Key West colors, lime green, teal, pink, navy blue, purple and white. You should select the colors that work with your room, or add a punch of color to it.  

 

3. Add some stripes, and blocks of color to create interest. 

 

4. Paint a few items on the legs, mine have ocean grass and bubbles. Cover the unit with clear Polycrylic, 3 to 5 layers.

 

5. Add in Vinyl fish outlines. On the sides of the bottom shelf, I placed back to back seashells, creating a unique Vinyl Border. To create my Crab and Jelly Fish I uploaded clipart to Cricut, then cut those out in contrasting colors to the paint, so that they would show up well. 

 

6. Finally, I bought a handmade knob off of Amazon which really fit the overall theme! I purchased the table at Unfinishedfurnitureexpo.com for about $120!  You can find furniture at thrift stores, garage sales, or use one you already own.
