Sarah came to me with these stools that were in dire need of some Restyled Vintage upcycling...
I got to work cleaning them up, and stripping the tops off them. I primed, then painted them with a lovely off white, Resene Pearl Lusta. Once the painting was done, I distressed the stools, then I handed them over to my upholsterer who made new oilcloth outfits for them. Here they are, all done...
The cross-bar is so low on the stool because it has been cut down at some stage...still looks ok though.
To finish off the piano stool, I gave it a bit of a wash with Resene Linen to break up the clean white look, and give it a bit of character. The 'Linen' colour is green so it ties in nicely with the green in the floral print oilcloth.
They certainly don't look dark and dingy anymore, and now belong in a home rather than a junk shop!
