Hello friends! I hope you all had a fantastic weekend. Ours felt super short as usual, but was a total blast.
In case you missed it, last week I told you all about the awesome old wood that I found on the side of our house and I showed you how I used it to make my DIY Rustic Console Table. I actually still have quite a bit left over it’s been coming in handy here and there.
Today I’m going to show you how I used some of that awesome old wood to update this old stool and make it fit better in our industrial inspired basement.
Supplies Used: (Affiliate links may be provided for convenience. For more info, see my full disclosure here.)
-
2×6 wood (found in backyard)
-
Wood screws
-
Scrap plywood
-
White paint
-
Paintbrush

After removing the seat from the stool I began painting it with Rust-Oleum Hammered spray paint.
I love this stuff because it’s awesome at hiding imperfections, which is a must for this self-admitted sloppy spray painter haha.
I laid the stool down on the three pieces of wood and marked where it needed to be cut.
I then attached the wood to the stool using the metal tabs that the old seat was attached to.
- It seemed somewhat wobbly, so I attached a piece of plywood across the boards to connect them a little better.

And this is what it looked like when I flipped it over.
- It was nice, but needed some more interest. So after giving it a quick sanding, I dry brushed it!
- And yet, it was still missing something. So I added a few nail heads on the edges which ended up being the perfect touch.
- And here it how it turned out!
It could probably use a couple coats of polyurethane but I honestly haven’t gotten around to doing that yet! Maybe once our hectic summer slows down a bit? (Who am I kidding, I’ll be lucky if it gets done by the end of February…) There you go friends–a short and sweet tutorial for this short and sweet stool 🙂 Hope you all have a fantastic week!
Linking up to these awesome parties!
You have beautifully transformed an industrial stool into a chick farmhouse tool. Lovely white paint done. Amazing makeover.
I purchased this particular best airbrush system about 4 months back as well as did not use it a lot. When I made it happen worked very well, and only experienced one problem. The environment valve fell out, and the threads had been the incorrect size. We known as TPC assistance, plus they were very helpful. With this cost and high quality it's a very good buy.
