| Rhoda, from, http://southernhospitalityblog.com/ hosted a thrifting shopping party earlier in July. This stool was at the first Goodwill we visited. I liked it's stubby little legs. We discussed how we would paint it - bold, bright, beachy, which I love. |

| Since the top was almost perfect, it called out for------- |
 |
| My first Typography! I used a graphic from the Graphics Fairy, http://graphicsfairy.blogspot.com/ . Somehow the top just seemed perfect for it. I used a paint pen and away I went. I tried and opaque projector, but the stool was too dark, so I copied the graphic as best I could. I did distress the top and lighten the dark letters to help age it. |

Love it. You did such a great job. I have 3 of those stools and I so need to do something with them. Love the graphic. Hugs, Marty
You need to try it; it's fun! Thanks for stoping by!
BB, love what you did, that top was too perfect to paint over, so that was a perfct solution!! It looks fantastic, so glad you took it home.
Thank you; I appreciate your kind comment!
Looks amazing!I love it! Where do you get your chalk paint- is there a local supply or do you have to order it from AS? Does the Old White have any yellow tint to it? I'm looking for a paint without yellow tones, but not stark white, not sure what to use. (Several projects lined up, waiting for a decision....)
Hi Shelia, I'll send you an e-mail about all of this. Old white is not a pure white, it will have a yellow tint. Thanks to your kind words and stopping by!
I too love what you did with that top. Would have never thought of it. Great job. Looks a lot better than it did sitting in the Goodwill store.
Hey, BB! I love how the stool turned out! It looks awesome! It was so good to meet you at Rhoda's thrifting party.
BB love what you did! I saw the before - the after is perfect!
Thanks for your kind comments! You saw it before so I am happy you like it. I really debated what to do with it. I owe it all to Rhoda and the Graphic's Fairy! It was good to hear from all of you!
Love it, Betsy! I have also noticed in a couple of your posts that you are a bunny lover, too! I knew I liked you! :) I'm your newest follower.
I love what you did with this plain Jane stool. It is such a great transformation.
