Stool Makeover {before & after}

I was working on a really large paint project the other day (you had a sneak peek if you follow me on Instagram) and while I was waiting for the paint to dry I decided to give a pair of Craigslist stools a little makeover. 

Here is the before... nasty 80's wood and horrible fabric.

and after....

I simply used my chalk paint recipe and some more of the marine vinyl that I had used on my vintage highchair. I distressed slightly and then waxed it. They aren't my dream stools, but they'll do for awhile.  Total cost of project: $10 pair of stools $0 for paint (leftover from another project) $0 for vinyl ( well, I guess you could say 10 cents or so, considering I paid a $1.50 for a couple yards at a garage sale) Gotta love that price tag! Oh and the yellow paint color I used was Yellow Magnolia by Martha Stewart

So pretty, right!?

Wait till you see what else I painted this color! 

I'll be sharing it later this week!
