Another Stool

Hi!

We are having beautiful sunny, cold weather for the next little while.  I went for a walk this morning with the walking group.  It's still slow for projects. I was talking to my dad (on his birthday Feb 5) and he asked what I've been doing to keep busy. I had to think a bit... and said I'm just planning all the projects I'll do when it warms up!

However, I did do a little project this week.  Here it is:

We have 4 Target bentwood stools. I redid one to look like this.

Here's another one that needed a make-over.  It stays in the front room under the dresser.  Here's how it looked Before.


I decided to use some home-made white chalk paint and gold on the bottom. First I painted the white and did 3 coats.  Then I taped off the bottom and had to do 3 coats of the gold. I sealed it with my Johnson Paste Wax. It's a bit smelly, but gets the job done!


Here it is in the front room! 

I think it looks nice! 

Have a great weekend! :-)
