VINTAGE STOOL REDO

Worse for wear and spattered with paint, this sturdy stool sat neglected in a garage workshop, begging for a renovation to show off its simple industrial appeal. Rescue a seat of your own and clean it well, leaving any small paint spatters as patina. Stencil “Sit” on the back using a bold font and a contrasting color. When dry, lightly distress the word with fine-grain sandpaper and steel wool. Apply a coat of clear sealer to protect the lettering. Give the padded seat a new look with a round fabric cover that secures underneath with a drawstring around the edge.
