well after a very lazy day on saturday, i pulled on my motivated boots on sunday!
i pulled the tops off the stools and gave the bases a couple of coats of white paint
while they were drying, i raided my vintage fabric stash for some suitably sized pieces and then, after a quick press, glued them onto the tops!
fast forward a couple of drying hours and...
TA-DA!!
two completely made over stools!
i absolutely love how they turned out! but i am a little worried the fabric will get destroyed... i painted them up with a thick layer of PVA on top but i think they might need a gloss varnish or something.
oh, and today's a month of prompt is gold
a close up of my new glasses. I LOVE them!!
any suggestions on protecting fabric topped stools? have you performed any furniture make-overs recently?
I love what you have done with the stools. It's a great way to personalise those IKEA stools.
ReplyDeleteLove the stools! You could get some Mod Podge, which is like a sealer, or some clear vinyl and staple gun it over the fabric?
ReplyDeleteThey are super cute. I like the idea of the vinyl. Easy to clean too.
