Save The Best For Last: Painted Stool

Four stools...
what all started out like this...SAD!
After years of storing these ugly beasts,
last year I finally got a vision.
I painted the first stool for a church auction (HERE).

Then, this summer, I pulled two more stools out of storage.
Painted these babies black and added some ribbons...

PrEsTo!

My artroom now has some fun stools!

AND...
an order came for the very last stool.
A gal who bid on the very first stool last year!
This year she wanted it as a Christmas gift...
to herself!
*****
I started out the project with white, white, white towels and buckets.
Not so white anymore.
And my paint palette?
I just kept loading paint on top of paint.
Hours and hours of painting...

...and now it's FINISHED!

Yep, the paint is still wet!

This baby does NOT have one millimeter of non-funkiness!


The requested quote on top...even painted some sparkle paint around it!



And I didn't even forget to polka dot underneath the seat!
Yep...every single millimeter is PAINTED!


Now to sign and hand over this gem.
So, what started out as 4 poor stools...
Extreme Makeover...Stool Edition....
They all have great homes now.
