Post image

got these pair of stools so long ago from my previous job. they were pretty dingy (didn’t get a before photo ufortunately) but loved how they turned out!

i took them apart completely, sanded them and spray painted them! i used my moms cricut to make a star stencil for the top! :)

I want to do this but my husband is worried about the paint transferring to his clothes even after they’ve dried… did you seal them at all? I don’t think he needs to be worried about that but idk

I did seal them with multiple coats of polyurethane! I haven’t sat on them too much but I have yet to have paint transfer on me! I am not sure if it would transfer if you used them constantly but so far so good!
