Rummage Sale Stool Farmhouse Upcycle with Paint & Stencils
September 28, 2017
Do you remember this little stool from my August Rummage Sale & Thrifting Finds blog post? It is a sturdy little stool with a metal tag in front that says "Chester" by Ty Sundberg.
My upcycle of the stools follows.
First, I painted the little stool with two coats of Rust-Oleum Chalked Paint in Country Gray

I recently purchased this little farm style stencil at Hobby Lobby. It was only $2.99. I stenciled the farm local seal and the farm windmill onto the stool seat with Ceramcoat Acrylic Paint in Light Ivory

For smaller stencils, I like stencil brushes from the Dreamweaver Brush Set

I used my FolkArt Layering Wood Block
to easily and quickly faux distress the edges.

I also sealed the chalk paint with Varathane Clear Matte Finish Soft Touch Polyurethane

I tied 1/2-Inch Twisted Sisal Rope
through the hole in the stool's handle.

I like how my little stool turned out!
I never pass up wooden stools, cutting boards, candle holders, unusual wooden frames or sconces at sales!
Happy Thrifting!
