Stool redo

Hi Everyone
Hope you had a wonderful weekend. Our oldest daughter and grandson were home for part of the weekend, so our weekend was fabulous!! Just can't get enough of that sweet little Ezra!
Wanted to share with you a project I whipped out this morning.
I have had this cute little stool for years and when I got it I loved it. My taste and style of decorating have changed through the years and although I still like this little stool, It was time for a change.
So I got out a few supplies:


Took apart the stool

Used this handy Deglosser I love this stuff!!
You rub it all over the wood and it roughs it up enough to paint without sanding.


Then I took it all outside and painted it with my favorite Rustoleum Universal satin black paint



While this was drying, I took the fabric cover and a million staples off of the stool base to reveal only the wood and foam.
I carefully measured my fabric and made sure it was centered and then began stapling it into place



I made sure the paint was dry (waiting maybe 10 min cuz I am very impatient) and put the stool back together



To reveal this finished project:



The entire thing took less than an hour. Pulling out the staples took the longest.
It would be even quicker if you just covered over the existing fabric but since my fabric was lighter than the existing one I did not feel that was the best option.
I love how this turned out and it cost me virtually nothing since I used things I already had around the house.
I will be linking this up to the following parties:
