Vintage Wooden Stool Update with Chalk Clay Paint

Before and After

I tried something different (for me) with the stool and various chalk clay paints. I collected all the shades of blue/green chalk clay paint together and layered the colors on somewhat randomly.

When I finished with the colors I used a watered down Simply White (CeCe) brushed on randomly and not covering all surfaces. I let the paint settle in overnight.

Next step was a bit of sanding.

After the sanding I wiped the stool with clear wax (brushed on). As I brushed on the wax several areas had paint removed, something that I had not had happen before. I am guessing the very shiny original finish on the chair had some resist (perhaps a good washing first should have occurred).

Reading, eating smarties and tipping the stool. That is what it is all about, using purposely.

Thanks for visiting.

See you again Monday.
