{Drab to Fab}- Barstool Makeover

 

Take ugly bugly barstools that you got for $5 at a garage sale.

Tape off a set of chevrons and sand where you want to paint. I used a template I found on the Better Homes and Gardens website.

Either start painting (which I did first- see pic 4) or tape off the whole chair, as I did with the second one. Much better idea to tape and sand everything first.

Paint away! I used Tulip's black acrylic paint and a foam brush. I did 3 coats before peeling up all of the tape and I'm really satisfied with the coverage.

I still need to touch up a few spots and then lacquer them but look how pretty they're getting!
