Here it is... my first time spray painting furniture!
So I inherited lots of great items in my classroom eight years ago when I
took over for the previous teacher who was in the room before me.
This is one of them.
This is a nice basic stool. Although it is a little wobbly and green!
There is nothing wrong with the green but it just doesn't match my theme.
What I wanted was a red and white bench with a Dr. Seuss blue top
(you know what color I am talking about). Well when I shared the idea with my husband he
said that it might look more American Flag than Dr. Seuss. I agreed so I went with red.
First step:
I sanded.
I didn't sand too much, just the parts that were glossy.
I am not the neatest sander!
Next, I taped off the edges and was ready to paint.
I am sure watching me use a can of spray paint (for the 1st time)was entertaining.
My mom, dad, and husband were all there to enjoy the entertainment.
Here is a picture mid process.
I will admit I was WORRIED!!!
UGLY!!!
After 2 can of spray paint and a few days to dry ...
Ta DA!!! It looks AMAZING!
I must admit I felt pretty accomplished!
Now it is red and NOT wobbly!
(It was missing a screw!)
Look out! Now that I know how to use a can of spray paint I might be dangerous! :)
Hmmm....what else can I paint?
