Well used vintage stool made attractive again.
First part of the job (and no before picture taken) was sanding off the old stool top finish. Next was finding a stencil to fit.
The stencil of a Papillon (butterfly) with a wreath (from Michaels) plus CeCe Caldwell Beckley Coal chalk-like paint, some blue masking tape and Martha Stewart 3/4" sponge pouncher were the supplies used for this project.
Forgot to include this wonderful and very vintage tablecloth with the pink birds (salt and pepper) in my last post.
After stencilling and drying overnight I gave the stool 2 coats of Varathane Crystal Clear Water Based, drying between coats.
The water based Varathane was an easy 'brush' cleanup with soap and water.
I took the stool over to my booth on Monday.
Thanks for visiting today.

I adore stencils! They transform everything beautifully.
ReplyDeleteLove it - at least you know IKEA is generally made pretty well. You certainly revived it, it should sell quickly

Oh how I love it! You make everything more beautiful! Enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteThe stool came out terrific. I bet it is in its new home already.
ReplyDeleteWell done! I had a yellow stool much like this when I taught school. I used it to sit on at the front of the glass when I needed to write on the overhead projector. Funny what sparks a memory!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. Love the stecil you used.
Once again, Joy, you've made something that I would love to own, if I lived in you area that little stool would no longer be waiting in your booth, it's so nice!
