DIY Decor To Coordinate with a Target Plaid Shower Curtain
September 29, 2018
I am still working on some DIY decor for my daughter's new townhouse.
Last week she purchased this Target Plaid Shower Curtain, so I am going to make some coordinating decor from thrift shop finds.

My daughter wanted a small stool or chair to sit on when she applied her makeup at the bathroom vanity.
I remembered running across some vintage (mid-century) looking, stacking stools at my local thrift shop. I purchased one for $4.

The stool is chair height, and not counter height, so it will work well with the bathroom vanity.
At first, I was going to remove the vinyl upholstery and replace it. But instead, I removed the dirty paper on the bottom, and left the vinyl.
I washed up the legs and vinyl seat.

Then I brushed on two coats of Rust-Oleum Chalked Paint in Linen White
.
Linen White is almost white white. Not cream. Just like the the shower curtain.

Here is the stool with painted vinyl, and painted metal legs.
Of course it's not the exact plaid of the shower curtain, but it will work. The Target shower curtain says it's "a classic plaid pattern that has light green, white and black tones for a stylish design". I didn't notice the black.
I already had Ceramcoat Acrylic Paint in Navy Blue
on hand. Of course there are some differences in navy blues, but I used it as is.

My daughter used it at her college era apartments. I found it at a garage sale.
The stool and sign were stenciled with the Plaid Shirt stencil.
(But I didn't like this green, it's Ceramcoat Village Green, a yellowish green, so I re-stenciled it in Ceramcoat Cactus Green, a green shade with more blue hues).
I sealed both the stool and sign with Varathane Water-Based Polyurethane in Satin Finish
.
This is Minnesota, Land of 10,000 Lakes. WE love lake decor.
I hope she likes these new pieces.
