Fat Painted Vintage Stool

I am a paint nerd. It’s true. I still get giddy when I add paint to items and they morph into something completely different.

I recently picked up this little metal stool. Solid but dated. Sometimes even paint nerds get annoyed painting large pieces. True story, and I had just completed several large pieces and was working on 2 more and  looked over and saw the stool sitting all alone. I just stopped painting the big one and started painting this little wee one. I’m like a dog when they see a squirrel sometimes. I have to tell you, sometimes, the act of opening a can of bright red paint and putting it on a piece just makes me smile. So I did.

Fat Paint’s Red Barchetta is a fav. I just started painting the metal legs. Gorgeous right? If you follow me on Instagram you had a hint or two of what I was up to.

Isn’t it lovely?

Then I painted the top in Fat Paint’s Warm White.

And then had a little fun with Indigo and Red Barchetta on the top!

I sanded back the Union Jack to make it look “worn” and finished it with a coat of clear wax.  Start to finish done in less than 2 hours including dry time, a coffee, and a chat with my BFF (and ok a cookie).

Fat Paint is Made in Canada, low VOC, easy and fun to use and of course available at Front Porch Mercantile.

I think my little stool has gone from dated to darling?  She’s on the shop floor. Waiting for a new home.What do you think?

Thanks for poppin in!

Pip pip cheerio Ol’ Chap!
