Several years ago I bought this sturdy step stool for our youngest visitors to pull up to the sink in the guest bathroom. I can’t believe I just now got around to doing something fun with it! The room already has lots of pops of color with lime green towels and accessories, so I decided to use the colors of the shower curtain—black and white—but still make it kid-friendly. We (meaning Dave . . . thank you Dave!) sanded it and painted it black, then I decoupaged my favorite chalkboard-print scrapbook paper to the tops of the steps. Ahhh . . . much better! ♥
PILLOWS A-LA-MODE 
Sweet idea!
Thank you, Linda! 🙂
Ahhhh this is fantastic!
Thank you! We’re having LOTS of little ones visit over Father’s Day weekend, so I’m glad I got it done! 🙂
It sure is looks different, and new. What a creative idea. Be Blessed, Mtetar
Thank you, Mtetar! I think our little visitors will like it! 🙂
You’re welcome, Katherine and yes they will. Be Blessed, Mtetar
Definitely looks kid friendly now. What a difference. You both did a great job! Love it!
Thank you, Ginny! I’m glad Dave doesn’t mind painting for me! I make the biggest mess when I paint. 🙂
Sew cute!!!!!! Hugs……
Thank you!!! Can’t wait to see all the little ones coming to visit in a couple of weeks! 🙂
They will love your “A-La-Mode” creativity….for sure!!!!
Such a dramatic transformation! I love it!
Thank you, Lauren! Now (to Dave’s chagrin!) I’m looking at all the OTHER things in the house that could use a paint update! 🙂
Another awesome project!
Thank you, Pam! It’s been on my to-do list for a LONG time, so I’m glad I finally got it done! 🙂
Adorable.
Thank you, Kelly! 🙂
LOVE it!! Just changed the way I follow you so I can do a better job of seeing your great posts! Went to Bloglovin’ which I enjoy very much!
I read blogs on the WordPress reader, but I’m starting to follow some on Bloglovin’ too . . . I love getting those daily email from them! And thank you for the lovely compliment! 🙂 Have a great weekend!
How adorable! You (and Dave) did a great job! 🙂
Blessings,
Kim
Thank you, Kim! Dave is sweet to do my painting projects for me . . . somehow, I always make the BIGGEST mess with paint and brushes! 🙂
Like it a lot… and I know any young visitors will want to try it out!
Thank you, Marilyn! We’ll have LOTS of kiddos to try it out at our family get-together in a couple of weeks! Can’t wait! 🙂
Oh! I really love it Katherine! so much better and so much fun too! 🙂
Thank you, Ingrid! I really like it and wish I hadn’t waited so long to give it an update! 🙂
I like the two step version better than the one step box I have for the kids (no longer). Much more stable. I just painted mine, never thinking of decoupage.paper. You are so clever.:)
Awww . . . thank you! But . . . you could still decoupage it since the paint is dry! I think either fabric or paper would work. A new project maybe??? 🙂
Lovely. There will be little fellows queuing up to use it!
It will get a good workout at our family get-together over Father’s Day weekend, that’s for sure! 🙂
Love this idea 🙂
Thank you! It looks much more at home in the black/white/lime green room now! 🙂
Love that paper! Good choice. At first I thought you were going to say you painted the drawings on!
Thank you! And I MIGHT have been able to paint it, since the design is made of kindergarten writing and drawings! 🙂 But luckily someone else did it for me. 🙂
That is a kewl stool!!!
Thank you, Lisa! It was fun! 🙂
This is so cute! Much more exciting than the wooden stool I used as a kid!
We had a handmade one with a woven rope top . . . I wish I still had it! 🙂
so fun!! love it!!
Thank you, Jennie! 🙂
I love it!
Thank you! I’m so glad I got it done before all our house guests arrive for our Father’s Day weekend family reunion! 🙂
I have almost the very same bench, but mine doesn’t have the handy hand hole. Cute job Katherine. Mines been many shades of……you know it Aqua.
Q – Visited Curls today and saw that exact step stool in her studio! I had my iPad so I immediately pulled up this blog page and showed her what she could do. LOL! Perfect timing.
How cool is THAT??? Yay! 🙂
