Stool Makeover


I had a plain wooden stool that I used in my classroom and decided it need a makeover.
I stuck with my color scheme, so I painted the top white and then taped off a chevron pattern using frog tape.



I then painted my grey paint over the white. I let the paint dry over night and then peeled the tape off. It looked pretty good, but I had to do a few touch ups.

I thought it might be idea to put some kind of sealer, so I got out the handy dandy Mod Podge. 


After the Mod Podge dried, it was spray paint time. I used a black gloss spray paint to spray the stool legs. I taped off the top part of the stool so I wouldn't have any black paint on the seat of the stool. 

I didn't have quite enough spray paint, so I thought I could add some more color to the spoke part. I had some scrap paper and decided to Mod Podge it on! 


I am so excited about the way it turned out!

  1. Your stool turned out super cute! I have two ugly green stools in my classroom. Maybe I should do a stool makeover myself. :-)
