Razorback Stool

Its so great to have something that you have had for years, so long you forgot have you even got it. ha ha.. Yet revamping it to be bling or sports related then do it!

1st things first. Sand, Sand, Sand! I had many palces on this stool that I had bumped it on something and it had stollen some, of whatever it hit, paint. lol It also had a type of gloss on it and I wanted to make sure that I had a great rough surface for the paint to adhere to.

Next Choose a Color. I am obsessed with a few colors right now but RED (RAZORBACK RED) is my latest fav. And put a tarp down! You dont want your concret to be red forever and its awesome for clean up.

PAINT! Yes sounds scary at first but i love it! I used Spray Paint for this project (as you can see in the bottom of the photo). It really just depends on what color you want to use and if you can find one you want. Like I said I love this color and for this project it was perfect.

The Trick with Spray paint is not to hold down the spray while you paint. You need to do "burst" of paint and while those burst need to be directed at the object it also needs to be in a fluid motion. (maybe ill make a video one day). I also keep a small brush with me just in case the paint does start to drip I just brush it out.

Also do one coat and let it sit (for however long the paint can says). I typically do 15-30 min. Then go back with your second coat. Let that dry and then Flip it over and do the under coat.

This may take a day or two but when your not in a hurry then you have a better result.

Now you can do what ever kind of accent you want on this stool. I chose to find an Arkansas Razorback Decal and put it in the middle (on the top) and then I will varnish it. Varnish is a NEW CREATION! for me. But I know it will be great!

As you can see this is not the best accent chair for Mom and Dads house but it is a great stool. I plan on selling it for $20. 
I know that its not only a great stool, but it can be a great seat to keep at the house for an extra seat for Game day or a great seat to take for Tailgating.
