Chevron Stencil Furniture Makeover DIY

  
When I picked up a plain white stool at Goodwill for $4.99, I was not sure how I wanted to make it over and then I had the wonderful opportunity to check out Handmade Charlotte stencils and could not wait to use one of the designs on the stool!
The stool needed a quick cleanup and sanding, then I repainted it a glossy white.  I am VERY into neon lately…as seen here and here.  So, I decided I wanted to do some color blocking with hot pink:



I received the Patterns stencil set which comes with 6 patterns and a sheet for letters and numbers. (I already have some DIY ideas for the numbers & letters- yeay!)

It was a VERY hard decision to choose the design. I narrowed it down to two- polka dots and chevron, even trying both and after trying some polka dots, decided to go with the chevron. I have so many polka dot DIYs, I need to branch out a bit πŸ™‚

To apply the stencil, I taped it down with some painters tape to keep it from moving while painting.

The chevron pattern is long and I noticed the stencil lifted a bit in the middle so I also applied some double sided tape to the back of the stencil to keep it very still.  For the polka dot one, this was not necessary.

I used a small roller paintbrush to apply the paint.  I lifted the stencil immediately after painting to correct any mistakes I made.  To cover the whole stool, I lined up the pattern and repeated the steps.

I love it!

Neon pink and chevron are just the look my office needed.  Another thrifty find, an owl for $3 (spray painted white), is very happy to have a place to sit.
