I’ve had this little stool around my house for over 10 years! It was a piece of unfinished furniture I purchased at the craft store a long time ago. I don’t really remember why or what it’s intended use was originally. After all this time, I finally got around to painting it. I should have sanded it, but I was too impatient and I don’t like saw dust. I wanted to use a fun and bright color.

I used Martha Stewart paint in the color: SCALLION

I choose satin finish because I don’t like gloss finish on furniture. It took about 3 coats of paint and I just applied the paint with a small paint brush. Nothing fancy. I’m happy with how it turned out. A little colorful item like this can help cheer up a room as a cute accent piece. I plan to put some decorative flowers in a pot on top and use it in my front hallway.

It didn’t take long to complete. I’d say about 10 minutes per coat of paint, then I just let each dry for a few hours and did the next one. It took less then one tube of paint.

Painting a stool is a simple and inexpensive way to give an old or plain stool a fresh, new look. To paint a stool, you will need a few basic materials, such as a stool, paint, brushes, and sandpaper. To begin, clean the stool thoroughly and sand it to rough up the surface and remove any existing paint or finish. This will help the paint to adhere better. Next, apply a coat of primer to the stool and allow it to dry completely. This will help to protect the wood and provide a smooth base for the paint. Once the primer is dry, apply the first coat of paint, using a brush or roller. Be sure to apply the paint evenly and smoothly, and avoid drips or brush marks. Allow the first coat of paint to dry completely, and then apply a second coat if needed. Once the paint is dry, you can add any additional details or finishes, such as stencils, decals, or clear sealant. When you’re finished, you will have a fresh, new stool that is uniquely yours.
