This week I decided it was time to get a few
things done around my own house!
To accomplish this, I penciled myself into my
schedule! So...this week has been dedicated to
working at home...for ME!
I started out with cleaning and organizing.
But I've finished a few projects along the way!
First were these barstools I bought years ago
at a garage sale. They were just you basic
natural finish. Nothing special.
I sanded, sprayed them with Kilz spray primer
and painted them Krylon's Ivy Green.
My initial idea was to stop here.
But, as much as I loved this color,
it was just a little too
bright and intense for my kitchen.
SO...
I sanded, distressed and wiped on a
coat of Minwax Dark Walnut stain.
Honestly, I've been meaning to paint these
for years! I finally painted them
in the spring but it took me this long
to complete the job!
Paint barstools...check!
At least one thing is off the list!

BLESSINGS!

That is a great pop of color. Distressing them is just the right touch. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful - I may need to try that color on something!

They turned out great. I love green. This green looks perfect.
ReplyDeleteI love the color you chose. It was a good choice to stain and distress them as well!
ReplyDeleteThose look GREAT! We have one hanging around and normally I paint everything that doesn't move, but never that about doing the stool. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeletewhat a fabulous choice of color! the green brings such a nice touch to the space.
ReplyDeleteThey turned out great, Sonya! I really like how the stain toned down the brightness just that little bit.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely the right decision, they look great - now get back to sewing! Ha, just kidding :). *hugs*
ReplyDeleteThey look great, Sonya! Love the stain over the green.
ReplyDeleteLove your bar stools!!!
ReplyDeleteI have needed to paint mine forever--you have inspired me--I am doing it this weekend!
ReplyDeleteOh I LOVE them!! That is the perfect shade of green!! Wow! You did a great job!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great green! They look wonderful! Your projects sound like they take as long as mine sometimes!:)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that shade of green! It looks just like Behr's Lucky Bamboo, which I use all the time, but spraying on is so much better than painting on!
ReplyDeleteI really love that pop of green! And hurray, its Spray paint! Great makeover.
ReplyDeleteThey look fantastic! I use Ivy Leaf for a lot of projects too, it's the perfect green! Beautiful distressing too. Great job!

ReplyDeleteturned out great! i've been wanting to try that green! my favorite color!
ReplyDeleteThese are so fun! Great job! I've always wanted to distress but kind of unsure about it. I have a dresser I've been stripping and would love to do something like this!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your visit. :)
Love the color! And, I'm a huge fan of distressing. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining my Friday link party! Hope to see you back this Friday!

ReplyDeleteOoh, I love them too!! They look great, love the pop of bright color and that you turned that down just a bit. Thanks for sharing, now I've got to add it to my list.
