I painted them white and distressed them a bit and used them on and off for quite awhile. But I never really loved them, if you know what I mean. They were just some 'blah' stools.
Untiiilllll...I added some cute numbers to them!
(printed some numbers from my printer then cut
them out with an Exacto knife)
I just taped them on the stool and lightly painted with black paint.
I lightly distressed them and painted a matte polyurethane over the whole top.
Voila! So cute ;)

ReplyDeleteThanks Marium! And yes they were super easy ;) Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteI did this same thing to two stools for my daughter's first apartment. Only I painted the seats black and the numbers white for contrast. She used these for a year then didn't need them any longer so I sold them.
ReplyDeleteHi Terry, Oh that would look lovely too! Thanks for stopping by ;)
DeleteThose are so cute now. Love that little change ;) I have a black stool, and I am still trying to decide what I want to stencil on it? I take forever to decide things. lol
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year :)

DeleteGreat idea, glad you showed 'how' - a think that cutting out the letter and making a stencil would work so much better then tracing and free hand painting. I'm following so I remember to come back and read more of your posts.

Thanks Gail. I love numbers too ;)
DeleteVery nice job! The numbers add so much!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jacqueline ;)
DeleteOh my goodness, Jamie! I love these stools. I, too, have two tired ones just waiting to be refreshed. I think I'm going to try this method, but with the colors reversed. I need the stools to be black, but plan to do the numbers on white. I'll let you know how they turn out! Thank you for the inspiration:)
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting, Alison. Yes, it's so easy but makes a huge difference. I can't wait to see yours! Happy Valentine's Day!
