VINTAGE INDUSTRIAL STOOL BEFORE AND AFTER!

THIS WAS A REALLY GREAT 

PIECE TO WORK ON I 

FOUND IT AT AN ESTATE SALE

AND PULLED IT OUT OF THE 

RUBBLE IT WAS LAYING IN

I DON'T THINK THE 

ESTATE SALE PEOPLE REALIZED

ITS POTENTIAL!I THOUGHT
IT WAS SO COOL AND THE LEGS
ACTUALLY ADJUST SO IT
YOU WANT TO USE IT AS A CHAIR
INSTEAD OF A STOOL YOU CAN!
GREAT FUNCTION!

HERE IS MY 

INDUSTRIAL STOOL BEFORE...

AFTER...

TO DO THIS CHAIR I TOOK

OFF THE SEAT AND THE THE

BACK AND SPRAY PAINTED THE 

FRAME A FLAT BLACK

I THEN USED MINWAX POLYSHADES

TO VARNISH THE SEAT AND

THE BACK.

I DID SAND THE TWO PIECES 

BUT NOT TO MUCH AS TO

GET RID OF THE GREAT 

MARKS AND COLOR THAT

MAKE THIS PIECE SO BEAUTIFUL!

I'M REALLY LOVIN' THE 

INDUSTRIAL FEEL RIGHT NOW

AND PLAN TO DO SOME MORE

PIECES WITH THIS LOOK

HOPE YOU LIKE IT!

GOLDILOCKS AND THE CHAIR

SPOTTED THIS CUTE LITTLE CHAIR

TUCKED AWAY IN THE THRIFT STORE, 

I BELIEVE

I PAID 1.99 FOR IT!

THE BEFORE...

IT WAS PRETTY BEAT UP 

AND I DID'NT LIKE THE ORANGE

CAST IT GAVE OFF BUT I KNEW

WITH A LITTLE TLC IT WOULD

BE A CHAIR EVEN GOLDILOCKS

WOULD LOVE!

MY AFTER...

I STAINED THE SEAT A LITTLE

DARKER AND GAVE THE REST OF IT

A LITTLE BIT OF A WEATHERED LOOK...

IT'S THE CUTEST LITTLE THING

AND IT COULD BE USED AS A SMALL

ACCENT PIECE NEXT TO YOUR BED

WITH A FEW BOOKS ON IT!

THIS PIECE WAS DONE WITH

MY CALCIUM CARBONATE RECIPE I'LL

BE POSTING A REVIEW WITH IT

NEXT PROJECT

ROLLING, ROLLING, ROLLING

did i mention i love free... this chair on rollers was also given to me by the lady that gave me the furniture i redid (big red) the dresser, and (little boy blue) the end table-the pieces with the shadow boxes on top. the chair was great reminded me of my office chair i bought from pottery barn years back, i think for around $275.

this chair was flat white with chipped edges and the color didnt seem to fit the piece. so i changed it. i picked a martha stewart color called feather duster. its kinda a greenish grey.
