Bar stool makeover with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint via Our Southern Home #chalkpaint #anniesloanchalkpaint

 

Today I am sharing my bar stool makeover with Annie Sloan Chalk Paints.

This month's Themed Furniture Makeover Day is Chairs!

This bar stool used to be in my elementary school classroom in my former life as a school teacher. 

It has been in our playroom for quite sometime now…looking out of place with the light stained wood.

 

New painted furniture theme each month!

 

Be sure to check out the link below for all the other fabulous “chairs” in today's tour. These ladies have serious talent!

There is a sticker underneath the seat. I purchased it at K-Mart all those years ago. It is very sturdy.

Its home is by the pool table upstairs. It's great for sitting in between playing and to place your drink atop when it's your turn.

I painted 3 coats of Coco by Annie Sloan Chalk Paint.

Those rungs can be a pain to paint. I find it easier to use a flat artist brush for more control. My medium brush pictured here is just too bulky for it.

I let the base coat dry thoroughly and taped off the stripes. You are well aware of my love affair with ticking or grain sack stripes. I did this so quickly. If you notice I did them off-center. Yeah…I was lazy. I didn't want to do all the measuring to get it centered. I just eyed the stripes. The stripes are Old White.

Next I created a custom blend of Burgundy and Primer Red for my stencil. Only a tiny amount is needed.

Also on OSH!  Thrift Store Mirror Makeover

Apply the paint with a stencil brush by pouncing up and down. Hold the stencil in place with spray stencil adhesive or tape. You'll notice I applied the stencil off-center as well.

Not much time involved and for very little money since all of the paint I had on hand.

I did a bit of distressing on the edges and across the stripes.

It will definitely look like it fits the billiard area of the upstairs bonus room now.

I applied 1 coat of clear wax to the base. The top got 3 coats. Then I buffed to a slight sheen with my  buffing brush.

Very simple decorative touches can really add character.

    Christy, a very good idea indeed. The old school classroom turned to a bar stool.

    What a great makeover for this stool. It was definitely boring before and now it has character.

    I saw several of these at Goodwill a few weeks ago and I’m still regretting not buying them. It seems like there’s always a place in a home where a stool can be used.

Happy Friday! I hope you've had a great week. 🌷 Happy Friday! I hope you've had a great week. 🌷 I've been a bit absent this week with my squares, but I've been painting again. Y'all know all that molding and trim that I've been tackling. It's so time-consuming but has a big reward. Fresh paint works wonders in a space. We've got a beautiful weekend ahead here in the south. Hoping to enjoy a little time in the yard before the pollen starts setting in.

Ashlyn and I enjoy cooking together so shopping for our favorite steak taco night dinner was the perfect opportunity to visit our new @foodlion in the Greenville, SC area. We are no stranger to Food Lion! We shop there when in NC while visiting our family beach cottage. The extra fresh produce and meats section always blows us away. Food Lion prides itself on keeping prices low and passes savings to its customers. Be sure to sign up for an MVP card in-store & online. Swipe to see more + our yummy dinner!

Good morning! Another gorgeous day before the rain Good morning! Another gorgeous day before the rain and cold creep back in. The weather is a big tease around here! A tip & a question! Please read below...help a girl out! 

🌸 Do yourself a favor, when you go to the grocery store....pick up some fresh flowers. They are inexpensive and instantly brighten your day. Change out the water every couple of days and most will last a week. Cut a little off the stems as well. 

👁 I recently had an eye appointment. My doc wrote a prescription for me to get progressive readers. Folks, She said that I need 2.5s! I’m in a 1.75. It’s such a pain. Here’s my question. I can no longer pluck my eyebrows with my magnifying mirror! 🤣 The 52 struggle is real! What’s a girl to do? Become Bert or go to the salon. I don’t wax because it’s too irritating. @ashlyn_little offered to pluck them! 🤣 Anyone else in the same boat? 

Favorite @lovechicos look! My So Slimming Girlfriend jeans are on sale! Today is also the last day of their first-ever warehouse sale!

Curious? Do you make your bed daily? We do! We usu Curious? Do you make your bed daily? We do! We usually have a last one out rule. I just can’t walk in the bedroom with an unmade bed. My dresser may have a pile of folded laundry for a couple of days, but that bed is made! That Amazon blanket is linked in stories. It’s soooo good! 

This is perhaps my favorite look for our master bedroom! Soft toile, linen and leopard print bedding and blankets are so cozy! http://liketk.it/3953P #liketkit @liketoknow.it #StayHomeWithLTK #LTKstyletip @liketoknow.it.home

I have not been this excited about the weekend sin I have not been this excited about the weekend since last weekend! Ha, ha! Happy Friday! No big plans here, but I’m still trying to dress up for a date night in on the weekend. We’ve been eating a lot in the dining room lately. It’s a cozy space with the twinkle lights that I don’t have the heart 
to take down. It’s like feeling like we are in an actual restaurant opposed to the daily meals at the kitchen table. Just that little extra effort makes a difference. #ad

Loving these separates from @lovechicos This lightweight chevron sweater is perfect for now and spring. The lines are so slimming with the flowy ¾ length sleeve. Guess what! My So Slimming Girlfriend Jeans are on sale now thru February 25th! All full-priced jeans are $59!

The people, the animals....I pray that everyone finds warmth, food and water tonight. It makes me look ahead to warmer days and carefree times of summer.

I’ve been on a no sugar or anything processed lifestyle change going on 7 weeks except for that weekend cheat meal. Spent an afternoon doing a little shopping and indulging in a vanilla chai latte with my daughter, and it made my day! No regrets on the sweet splurge. #ad

This outfit with pieces from @lovechicos has been on repeat the last couple of weeks! I don’t tend to wear bright colors like this in the winter but let me tell you…. this sweater changed my mind! I am sharing 4 fun looks on the blog today with some of my favorite @lovechicos pieces. #lovechicos

These So Slimming Girlfriend jeans are the only ones I reach for these days. They work with boots, heels, flats and sneakers.
