I haven’t been to IKEA in awhile and I need to head down there. I am scared though, because a trip to my favorite Swedish furniture store means my paycheck goes away. Quickly. Instead of this stool I decoupaged here, now I want the stool above done by Carla at The Gale Family in Deutschland. It’s so delightful, and Carla even sealed it with clear coat, which does my heart good. Read more about her stool project right here.
I also want to mention that this is a great gift idea, especially for a housewarming. If someone gave one to me, I’d be so tickled that I think I would actually turn pink.







Blogger who loves the color blue and sock monkeys. You can find me in public easily— I'm wearing glasses and lots of stripes.












Another great idea!!!
i love it i need to go get a bigger bottle of mod podge lol
Nice! Mod Podge is awesome!
Ha ha! You crack me up–the clear coat does your heart good–I love it! Cute idea, thanks for sharing!
I was just commenting to Ron as we were driving to Michael’s last night that I needed to go to Ikea (I need shadow box frames in a bad way). It’s about 50 miles from my house and when I go I too just about blow an entire pay check. I was trying to decide if it was worth a 50 mile drive for 3 frames. hehe…as if that was all I was gonna buy.
Hey I have this stool, of course all the screws are gone thanks to my boys but I can fix it and mod podge it. Awesome. I am putting this on my to do list and adding you to my blog roll.
Cute, cute!!
We are planning a trip to IKEA soon!
Thanks everyone. Oh, and Lacie – you can buy it in gallons. LOL!
This is awesome! I have horrid step stool in the kitchen with paint splatters all over it and it needs a makeover!
That is adorable! I found your website yesterday and I love everything I have looked at so far. You are so creative!
So cute!
I have to tell you thought when I saw the subject line in my newsfeeder I first read “Plain Steel wool gets a makeover”. I couldn’t figure out what on earth you could have possible done with steel wool and mod pdge to make it over. Ha. Guess this pregnancy is affecting my reading too.
I thank you all for the comments.
Lolly – there’s no way you can just get frames. If you can, you are much better than I!
And Brandi, I’m not sure if you can Mod Podge steel wool, but you made me laugh, and I’m going to have to find out now.
amy – this is great!
we have this stool and i’ve been wanting to do something to it, because it’s hideous, but haven’t yet been inspired. now i am!
thanks again!
