Ikea step stool makeover

So you know that saying second times a charm?

I totally believe that sometimes when it comes to projects. Probably because I have had a lot of doo-overs in my day.

Today I am sharing and IKEA step stool makeover.   Certainly couldn’t just leave this step stool plain jane as it is.

Painting an IKEA step stool

Here’s the funny part.  I never even shared with you the first makeover I did on this all natural wood stool.

We needed this step stool after Mike did the Ikea closet unit in our masterbedroom.

Blue is my favorite color and I decided to dye the stool blue with Rit dye.  Of course I painted it on and stenciled “short People”

I will share that process with you in the future.  It wasn’t a favorite project of mine, and more so because it just didn’t really match the room.

I used chalky paint by Americana decor to cover the first job I did.  I wound up using the entire jar of it.  It took at least three coats to cover up my first job.

Stenciling a step stool

I used this stencil back a few months ago on a layered stenciled pillow design I shared.

I love paisley and you will see soon our Master bedroom spruce up involves more paisley print.

Stenciling on wood

I used Deco art craft paint for my stencil design and then rubbed on the same color over my chalky paint lightly.

I then distressed lightly and called it done.

I was happy with the end result.

    Love the stool Debbie, both the first and second version. The redo is really pretty though and the stencil and paint treatment look amazing.

    That step stool looks great, Debbie! I love the size of it, too. I need a two step one like that for my granddaughter so she can reach the bathroom sink. I really need to make a trip to Ikea.
