Chalk Painted Stool

I got this stool at a Habitat for Humanity ReStore.  It was old, dirty and unloved, but it was sturdy.




Excuse my mess, I had to move all of my painting inside because of the cold, rainy weather!  The bottom of the inside compartment was REALLY NASTY!  So I ripped it out right after I took pics of it!


The fabric on top was in tact, but it was plastic like material.  Almost like a shower curtain.



So I painted her up with a base coat of Annie Sloan Duck Egg Blue, then layered Old Ochre on top.  I used red mattress ticking fabric for the top and added dark wax for some depth.







I think it turned out pretty cute!  What do you think?  Linking up to Deja Vue Designs!

  1. I love the look of the ticking! I have a similar old stool, just on shorter legs, that I've been wondering what to do with. Guess I need to go fabric shopping!
