Painted Kitchen Stools

Oleh admin 07 Feb, 2014

Long fourth dimension agone when nosotros renovated the kitchen, nosotros bought a novel railroad train of stools. The kids actually wanted to bring the ones they could automatically accommodate the tiptop in addition to virtually importantly, they wanted the novel stools to spin circular in addition to round, in addition to that's what they got. Not that I similar them that much, but for the cost in addition to the fact that the kids dearest them, they are however at that spot inwards the kitchen serving its purpose.

Since that time, the one-time railroad train of stools bring been going places some the house. They are the ones I pick out handgrip of when I ask to accomplish for something inwards the highest cupboards. My kids bring been using them equally modest tables when they consume their snacks or when doing homework, in addition to equally you lot tin give the axe see, they've also been a pigment station for many of my projects :)

I don't intend they are going to supersede the ones inwards the kitchen, at to the lowest degree for now, but since nosotros usage them thus much I idea a makeover was greatly needed.
After sanding them pretty well, I decided I wanted the "new stools" to bring that piffling skirt virtually of the stools have. So, out of 1x2's the piffling pieces were cutting in addition to added to the stools alongside the Kreg mechanism.

Now that they were properly dressed, some to a greater extent than embellishments were non going to hurt, hah. I don't know why I e'er continue on adding materials in addition to making things to a greater extent than complicated than needed, but hither I am working on the skirt when I meet those wooden screw covers in addition to of class I bring to add together them too.

I'm non a bang-up painter, these stools were skillful pieces to experiment in addition to acquire with. I wanted to acquire for a distressed look, the 1 you lot meet the other colors under-neigh the overstep coat. First they were spray painted scarlet in addition to blue, but when I went looking for fossil oil jelly to rub on some spots thus the side past times side layer of pigment didn't stick...Alas I had none, in addition to I didn't desire to acquire in addition to purchase some. So, dark pigment was in addition to then applied, I was simply crossing my fingers to meet the brilliant colors showing at the destination ;)

At this betoken I decided to run on the seat. You tin give the axe acquire my costless graphics HERE in addition to HERE. You know I dearest coffee, well, if it's Colombian java I similar it ameliorate ;) Using graphite newspaper the designs were transferred in addition to filled inwards alongside a dark Sharpie.

Two lastly coats of chalk pigment were in addition to then applied to the legs. Using a sanding block I kept on looking for those brilliant colors ;)

The letters were also distressed. Be careful, the ink tin give the axe bleed into the unpainted areas. Finally, 2 coats of stain were applied to the spot in addition to the decorative covers.
