This easy DIY, from "Like a Saturday", will make your room colorful and unique. The barstool can hold items such as books and boxes on its bottom shelves. Also a bedside lamp can be placed on this stool, creating a perfect nightstand.

Like a Saturday

Materials

  • Sanding Block

  • ​​*Spray Paint*-3 cans 

  • Wooden barstool

  • Twine/ Wool

For spray paint projects, I would suggest using a can that includes both Paint and Primer so that you get a nice finish.

*Spray Paint*

Process

Step 1

     Sand the wooden stool to get rid of shiny layer. This allows the paint to stick. *Wear mask and goggles to avoid inhaling dust.*

Step 2

     Clean the stool to get rid of dirt. This prevents stray particles to stick on the surface while painting.

Step 3

     Turn the stool upside down on newspaper. Shake can for 1 minute. Spray once on the paper and start painting. 

*Wear mask and goggles to avoid inhaling dust.*

Step 4

     Spray from a 8-10 inch distance and go in one direction to avoid odd layering.

Step 5

     Add at least 2 coats and leave to dry a whole night.
