Another Quick Makeover

I bought this table at the auction last week.  It is sturdy enough to be used as a stool:

A little bit of homemade chalk paint and a little glaze brightened it up in no time at all!


And a black fleur de lis painted on the top finished it off nicely.


I love these quick projects - especially when they only cost $3.00!

    Good Morning Pattie, What a transformation. Your stool has gone from dowdy and heavy looking to bright and light! I love the fleur de lis design. Have a lovely day. Best Wishes Daphne

    That is gorgeous! The fleur de lis really is a nice finishing touch. I'm working on my garage sale table as we speak!

    Hi Patti,
    How cute! I wouldn't have thought to use it as a stool, but what a great idea!

    Love it.
