A saddle stool makeover.
A tag sale find at the neighbors:
After some glue, sandpaper and paint:
The woven seat was in perfect condition and truly shows it’s age beautifully.
I wanted to make the seat pop by using a contrasting color on the wood parts.
Here’s how I did it:
1. Glue and firm up legs.
Sand off old paint and gunk.
2. Painted 3 coats Behr tile red.
3. Sanded to distress.
Stained with Minwax dark walnut.
Sealed with satin spray poly.
Love the campy old feel.
Now to find a spot in our home.
