Here’s a project I’ve been waiting ALL WINTER to do (you can’t spray paint in the cold) and since then, a certain neon stool has made the blogging rounds. Well, dang it, I’m going to paint mine anyway, and I think it makes a great occasional table between the chairs in the living room. I may still repaint the legs, or leave them chipped and old looking – I can’t decide. {This is a Krylon “Safety Red” with a Valspar clear lacquer}
Please don’t judge me for the state of my floors, and the abject filth in the before photo, it was a quick snap before dragging the stool out to the garage. I am having an impossible time with the dust from the main road we’re on. Housekeeping! Who knew it was such a trial. I’m dealing with plenty of other more important life trials right now.
I keep coming back to look at it.
Oh! I used to have those sunglasses! So sad they disappeared..
Yikes! I would cry! I love Kala frames, I was just looking for a new pair but Vermont selection is so limited.
I like what you did there. Gorgeous colour. And you should see the state of my floors :/ long, long, looong overdue for a mop.
I just mopped! I think past owners or the fact that the floors are 175 years old just means there’s a permanent film.
I love the bright red – I want some “Safety Red” – and floors in VT in mud season are enough to drive a person to madness.
I know, my poor husband. I scream “TRACKING MUDDDDDDD” like 19712897481 times a weekend.
Looooooooove. It is gorgeous.
I can’t stop staring at it.
LOVE the stool! i have some sunny yellow krylon for some old dining chairs of mine that we use for extra seating in the living room and a towel “shelf” in the bathroom, but i’ve been putting it off since OCTOBER!! it’s such a pity that those paint-splattered gems have been sitting in our apartment for so long looking so sad….
maybe this will be my boost of inspiration!
this weekend it is!
(hopefully :P)
toodles.
I like the shiny stool. How’s the book?
Mindblowing! I need to write a post about it.
Isn’t Arcadia amazing? Man, I love Lauren Groff’s writing. She kills me.
I can’t wait to re-read it! xxoo
I looove this. It came out so perfectly! I need to get myself some bright paint.
Soooo pretty! A nice burst of color during a Vermont winter (though I heard it was like 80 last week?!) A cat would look very nice perched on it.
Great job! I love the new stool!
oooo gorgeous! I have some pedestal chairs and I’ve been thinking of doing something similar.
Love it! And would love to see more peeks in your home!
