Painted Barstools

April 14, 2009 by Chris

Okay, so working full time and having houseguests for 8 days made the progress quite slow, but they’re finally done!  Let us take one last look at the before…

IMG_4878

Nothing to see, really.  Well, plenty of coats and dirty dishes, but nothing aesthetically pleasing.

IMG_4875

-$10.00 Craigslist stools.  Not sure how that’s possible?  Check here.  And the grand finale…

IMG_4982

 

I had originally picked out a BEA-U-TI-FUL black and cream pattern, but I quickly learned that it matched the chairs and NOT the kitchen.

IMG_4957

So…I scoured some more and found this BEA-U-TI-FUL green/beige damask pattern.

IMG_4980

So, here are the barstools that someone paid me $10.00 to take.  Now we have our morning coffee together, we have long talks over a piece of pie, and we flirt back and forth while I make dinner.  Apparently, my barstools like me as much as I like them.

Up next?  My half bath that should have been done days ago.  It took me three coats of paint to realize that I hated the color I bought.  Am I cursed or something?!

    I wonder what the folks who paid you to take your barstools would think now if they saw them. I’d be like “give them back!” They look wonderful! Love the fabric.

    April 15, 2009 at 1:20 am

    Can you tell me what type of paint you used? Was it spray paint? I have some furniture I want to experiment with, but I wasn't sure what type of paint to use. Love that black and the damask fabric is beautiful!!! Love & blessings from NC!

  24. Vivienne says

    April 15, 2009 at 1:58 am

    Those are absolutely fantastic. And I still think the best part is that you were basically paid to take them.
    High five!

  25. Magic Brush says

    April 15, 2009 at 2:06 am

    What color did you use in your bathroom?????????????? Would love to know why you don’t like it!

    Envious of the stools… I want 3 new ones. Search Craigslist all the time…. strike outs.

  26. Carmen says

    April 15, 2009 at 2:15 am

    Love them!!!

    I have the same problem with paint. I work so hard painting then I spend weeks looking at it and thinking “I’m not sure I like this color anymore”.

  27. Jodee Leader says

    April 15, 2009 at 2:24 am

  35. Leigh says

    April 15, 2009 at 5:34 am

    They look so good! Following your blog makes me so sad that I gave away some furniture when we moved that had such potential. If only I had known about blogging then!

  36. Stacia Howard says

    April 15, 2009 at 5:53 am

    April 15, 2009 at 12:34 pm

    They are gorgeous! Great fabric choice too. I told hubbs about your mad Craigs List skills and he said, “Yep…she’s good.” He’s so addicted to that site. Can’t wait to see bathroom pics.

    LOVE the black and great choice on the fabric. Way to go!

  45. Melia says

  47. Farmgirl Paints says

    April 15, 2009 at 2:20 pm

    I’m lovin’ the barstools. You did a great job. And I completely understand the paint curse. I think I’ve painted almost every room in our house at least 2 times and we’ve only been here 5 years.

  48. Shannon says

    April 15, 2009 at 2:24 pm

    They look great!!!!! I love the fabric!

  50. Nikki says

    April 15, 2009 at 2:32 pm

    The barstools look amazing, and I still can’t believe the deal you got on them.

  51. Kristen says

    April 15, 2009 at 3:11 pm

    Oohh! I like them a lot!! Watch the flirting with the chairs – that can lead to other things and if your husband ever found out…well…since the ammo is labeled in the closet he knows right where to go.

    Can’t wait to see your 1/2 bath. I am making a tooth fairy pillow today..that is the extent of the craftiness around here!

  52. High-Heeled Foot in the door says

    April 15, 2009 at 3:12 pm

    Just beautiful! They looks amazing. I’m sorta new to your blog so I can’t wait to read up and find out how someone paid you 10 bucks for them!

  53. Laurel @ Ducks in a Row says

    April 15, 2009 at 3:13 pm

    Seriously – what can I say that others haven’t? They’re awesome, but you already know that. They’re a steal, but you already know that. You have great taste – hope you know that!!

  54. queenbee says

    April 15, 2009 at 5:27 pm

    These look wonderful. I am still in awe that you got such a great deal. I love the fabric!!!!

  55. Susan S. says

    April 15, 2009 at 5:49 pm

    I LOVE that kind of a deal. Your new bar stools look smashing. Great Job!

    I believe we are kindred spirits! I, too, was on a quest for barstools THAT SWIVEL. After 18 months of looking for a deal, I found two for $24.00! Not quite your deal, but still great. I’m painting them black!!!!

    that is a gorgeous print on your barstool! where did you find it??? i must have some!

  172. Lovely Little Nest says

    October 16, 2009 at 1:09 pm

    Ahhh these are gorgeous!

    Sidenote: I have the exact same problem when it comes to painting the walls. I NEVER like the paint I choose! It's always too dark, too light, too bright, etc.

    I won a free "room of paint" from Katie over at allbowerpower, but it's taking me FOR-E-VER to decide on a paint color because I'm afraid I'm doomed to hate whatever I choose! :p

  173. Tracy says

    October 10, 2011 at 1:49 pm

    How are these stools holding up? I am looking for a high durability paint to use on our dining room set. We have 6 kids, so I am talking bullet proof! 😉 Also, how much is a quart of the Benjamin Moore paint? Thanks.. I like your blog. Just found it and plan to keep reading!

    • Chris says

      October 10, 2011 at 3:24 pm

      Well, they get sat on constantly by my two kids, and there’s not a single scratch on them. That’s pretty good! I believe a quart is around $13-14? Thanks for stopping by! Have fun reading!

    i would like to see you add some beadboard to the front side of the island so that people sitting on the barstools will not kick and ruin the front of the island! great ideas on painting furniture; thanks for sharing them!
