Footstool Makeover



Some things are a "no brainer" when it comes to deciding if I should buy them from the thrift store. This little footstool was one of those items.

It looks like it went with the 60's and 70's blonde painted provincial bedroom sets that were in oh so many little girls' rooms. How I loved those sets but alas, never had one. I don't remember any of my friends that were lucky enough to have the matching sets having a little oval footstool. This was sturdy, dirty as heck, and only $3.

I sanded it lightly and painted it a light grey color. I then distressed it on the edges and used stain over the grey paint. This works great as a footstool in front of a favorite chair,

or tucked in the kitchen as a helper to reach the tall cupboard spots.

It makes a great stepstool in a bathroom for littles to reach the sink.

A little paint makes this little footstool current and a perfect little farmhouse piece. Yay for paint and good finds!
