FANCY STENCILED FOOTSTOOL REDO!


I JUST GOT FINISHED WITH THIS
PIECE IT'S AN OLD FOOTSTOOL
I BOUGHT AT AN ESTATE SALE.

BEFORE-
THIS IS SIMILAR TO WHAT
MY FOOTSTOOL LOOKED LIKE, CAN'T
FIND THE ORIGINAL PIC.



I DECIDED TO TAPE OFF A
STRIPED DESIGN ON THE TOP
AND THEN PAINT OVER IT AND LET
THE WOOD FINISH COME THROUGH. 
I ADDED A NUMBER 3 STENCIL TO
THE TOP AND PAINTED IT RED
TO PUNCH IT UP A LITTLE!


I GOT THE STENCIL AT LOWES
BACK BY THE MAILBOXES.

AND AFTER...
I DISTRESSED IT AND GAVE IT
THAT RUSTIC FEEL~






HOPE YOU LIKE IT. IM
GOING TO PUT MY FEET UP
AND HAVE SOME LEMONADE!
