Easy-Peasy Garden Stool Makeover
I've wanted a garden stool (or as Chris says, a "barrel thing") for awhile now and when I saw this guy at Ross for 28 buckaroos, I snatched him right up. Of course, I knew he'd need a makeover.
Bronze has no place in my home.

Bronze has no place in my home.
I sanded it down a little bit to roughen up the surface and then I sprayed on a coat of primer. The trick with both the primer and paint is to put thin, even coats on. Sometimes I get a little over zealous with my spraying and that's when drips occur. No bueno.
At first, I thought a nice aqua blue would be nice, but it turned out to be more of a baby blue and I hated it.
So, I returned to Home Depot and picked up a can of summer squash yellow. I should have gone with yellow in the first place. I love it!
Do you like it? Are you digging garden stools too, or are they not your thang?

ReplyDeleteweirdly enough, I was searching craigslist just now for garden stools when I decided to take a break and read some blogs instead. So yeah, love them. :-) Have yet to find one in a store that is under $100.
