Hi! I’m Jess and I blog at BrightGreenDoor where I write about everything from recipes, thrifting, crafting, sewing and redoing furniture to life in a boomtown in North Dakota. I am so excited that Shannah invited me to share with you today!
Today I am going to share how I transformed this kitchen stool
Thrifting is pretty much my favorite summer pastime, and when I came across this cute little kitchen stool I knew with a little TLC it would be perfect in my kitchen.
Once I got it home I popped the seat off of it and gave it a really good cleaning with some goo-gone and soapy water. I also took off the little bumpers on the feet. Once it was totally dry I sprayed it with Krylon “Oil Rubbed Bronze” paint and primer in one. The key was to do about 4-5 light and even coats. Then I removed the torn leather from the seat and covered it with this fabric by stapling it to the bottom. Then I re-attached the seat and put on some new feet bumpers and it was ready to go! My 4 year old loves it and thinks it’s awesome to have his own special spot to sit on to “help” me in the kitchen.
I just love how it looks next to my spray painted buffet and with my gallery wall! I bet next time you see a rusty and torn up kitchen stool you’ll think twice about leaving it behind!

Thanks so much! I know the fabric would be way too bold in a big area, but the little pop of pattern was just perfect!

That fabric is absolutely perfect! Love how this turned out.
Jess did a fantastic job on the stool! So glad she shared it here for my readers to see.
WOW Shannah, it looks brand new and beautiful after the make-over. Plus I like the color of the cabinet, going with the new kitchen stool !
Good Job love

Doesn’t it look like she got that stool from a store vs. changing it up herself? Such a fabulous job.
