This past fall when my husband had a roof installed over our deck, he added something else to the railing that was very creative and useful. He added a small bar shelf that extends all around the deck.
Now all we needed were a couple of stools. We already had some that were in pretty bad shape so I got out the old trusty paint brush.
You can see in these pictures the mold and dirt that was all over them.
 |
| The first thing I did was lightly sand them. |
 |
| Then I gave them 2 coats of a solid stain. The color I used was Drift Gray. This is the same color we used on the floor of the deck. | | |

|
 |
| I wanted to add something decorative to the top of each stool and after searching all over Pinterest, I found this! |
Now to duplicate it....
 |
| I printed a font that I liked from Microsoft Word and taped to the top of each stool. |
|
|
 |
| The next step was to trace and paint it. |
 |
| I then buffed them with clear paste wax. | |

| The refurbished bar stools. |
