Batik patterns are haute right now and can be found in the trendiest homes! Batik is a dye resistant pattern on cloth originally found in Indonesia, but the technique is also now found in traditional African, Chinese, Japenese and even South American textiles.

The necessary components of household decor are functionality and personality. Albion Gould lives by this golden rule and her side table is no exception! Side tables are great for storage and style, but Albion’s was lacking in the style department.

Now her side table is functional and phenomenal!

Nesting tables are a great “go to” decorating item for any home, especially for a small living space. While entertaining, you can simply spread the tables to get more usable surface area and later push them together to make more room.

She decided to give them a fresh new look with our Tribal Batik Furniture Stencil in Napoleonic Blue Chalk Paint® by Annie Sloan. The beautiful boho chic inlay-like look of this pattern would be a perfect addition to any home, including yours! Check out the full DIY furniture stencil tutorial here.
