"In Art and Love Follow Your Instinct"

So I've been wanting to try transferring words onto furniture there are so many ways that people do it.    I thought I would try the good ol' carbon paper way.  I found a french phrase that I liked  It says basically "in art and love go with your instinct".  I typed it out and printed it then just traced over it with the carbon paper underneath, you have to press hard and its kinda faint and hard to see but it worked.  In the future I need to use a bigger font size or a one word design to make my life easier.  I used the stencil for the damask type design.  
Well the before was a basic plant stand or tall end table and now it's a little more french chic.
