A Simple Little Re-Do...

With all of the painting and redecorating projects I've been working on lately,  I really enjoy a quick and simple little re-do! 

I have a small wood stool that I use for stacking and displaying things.  It is made of very weathered plywood.  It sat out on the front porch all winter, in the snow and ice, and isn't much to look at.  So I decided to give it a quick makeover...

I used  DecoArt's Americana Decor Chalky Finish Paint in the Relic shade...it's a dark gray that looks like the color of slate.

After painting I decided to add a stenciled number to each side, just for fun...

I simply traced with a pencil inside the stencil...

and used some DecoArt Acrylic Paint in the Cool Neutral shade...

and roughly painted in the numbers.

After a little distressing with a sanding block, it has a nice vintage look.

 I finished it up with some of the Americana Decor clear Creme Wax

to protect and deepen the finish.  I love how it looks now, 
stacked with my little white bench in the dining room...

 

I don't think I'll be sticking it out in the snow anymore...
