I've been working on a little project recently. We have an Ikea step stool that is a fine stool, just kinda blah in appearance. After doing my little Mod Podge experiment on the magazine holders here, I decided that I should take on a bigger project.
Here's a picture of the stool in it's original state. It's actually from the Ikea website as I forgot to take a picture of my own stool which was much, much dirtier.
I took apart the stool and spray painted it a chocolate brown. After reassembling it, I used some scrapbook paper and "mod podged" it to the painted steps. When it was all dry, I sprayed it with a couple of coats of clearcoat to make it really easy to wipe down if it gets dirty.
Super easy and definitely much easier on the eyes.
Hmmmm....what to do next?

Don't know how you find the time. Aahh, the things I would tackle if I had more. Can't wait to have you guys back - "Sorry hon, gotta go over to Carla/Ben's - Carla and I are making apple scented - papermache/teak wood trays." :) (Anca)
Anca, you kill me. So funny...of course it was even funnier when I thought Bernie had written it.
