Giving life to plain wooden stools is easy with a fresh coat of paint. Pops of color were added to these stools vs. painting the entire piece. The colors I chose were Nocturne Blue HDC-CL-28, Kalahari Sunset MQ1-25 and Shadows PPU25-03. These hues work great together however feel free to choose any three colors that coordinate in your kitchen. Follow the easy steps below to create this playful new look.
