While we were in Minnesota last week, we stumbled upon a couple of my favorite places in the whole wide world: Goodwill & a local thrift shop. Oh how I love a good thrift store. I found this little bar stool for $4, which I thought was a good deal. It’s sturdy & the perfect height for a small side table or a stool – so I snatched it up (along with a few other goodies that I’ll share next week.) It was like finding a blank slate…
First we coated it in my beloved Krylon in satin black. I say we, but Mr. SCC actually did this step, ‘cause he’s much more patient with the spray painting and tends to get less drips than I do.
Next, I coated the top with my other love, Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Paris Grey. (Thanks to Periwinkle Pass for providing me with the paint.)



Oh wow. I love that stool! Love!
I love the stool and your tutorial…thanks so very much for hosting. Have a wonderful week!

What a great idea to use carbon paper. I am going to have to give this a try for sure! Thanks for sharing. Love the stool!
Love it! I have four of these stools sitting in my basement, unused and neglected. Can’t wait to use your technique on them! At the very least, I can paint the wood tops and spray paint the legs something fun.
The stool is really cute, Gina! thanks for hosting the party!

The stool is great! When I was doing enormous wall trompe loielle (sp?) I found transfer paper that was in different colors that did not make such a mess as the carbon paper does. Also, if you are going to freehand a drawing and then paint over it, do it in colored chalk that blends with the paint being used. Not so much mess and mucck.
Keep on keepin’ on.
Wow! The bar stool looks AMAZING!!! Love it!
new follower here….thanks for hosting & I LUV your stool!
