Vibrant DIY Stools

So here is another project from 4th of July weekend. My parents own a house on Vashon Island and some of the furniture is getting to be a little old and it being a beach house means that funky colors and hand-me-down furniture is totally cool. I know that you can easily find stools similar to these at places like salvation army, goodwill, and other thrift shops. Even garage sales since its SUMMER!!

Here are some great 80s stools that still have great shape and lines. These stools have been at the house since it was rebuilt in the 1980s. Originally they were a yellowish stain on the seat and white legs. The white and wood was starting to date them. 

So to freshen them up my mom and I painted the legs a bright and cheery teal blue (Picture doesn't show true color.). 

We also sanded the tops and added a thin coat of varnish to seal the tops. This gave us a new look on their legs and a fresh coat on the seat. 

Here is the final DIY...old stools with a new life.
