Wooden Step Stool Makeover
Today I’m sharing a wooden step stool makeover, a quick and easy idea that you can use on a finished or unfinished step stool. I used spray paint, but you can use your favorite type of paint. You can make over one of these in about an hour.
This wooden step stool came with our RV when we bought it. It looks to have been handmade.
A few years later, I gave it a red paint makeover and used it as a Patriotic Food Stand.
It was really cute until I started using it as a riser when doing paint projects. So now it looks like this.
Bad, right?
My mom uses it in our guest room because the bed is kind of tall. So I wanted to make it look nicer since she’ll be coming to visit.
After sanding off paint splotches, filling in the crack, and painting it black to resemble a chalkboard, I waxed it.
It’s as smooth as it’s going to get for an old stool!
Supplies:
For your convenience, I included affiliate links to products used.
Instructions:
- Lightly sand wooden stool.
- Clean dust and debris from stool with tack cloth.
- Paint with 1 -3 coats for full coverage.
- Allow stool to dry completely.
- Using a transfer or stencil with chalk paste or paint, add farmhouse charm.
- Finish your project with a clear sealer.

From this to this:
I will never again use this adorable stool as a paint riser. It’s too cute now.
But I might use it by my bed when she’s not visiting!
Now I’ll show you how I changed my mind while working on this stool.
For those who love the color teal, I apologize in advance.
I used the Laundry Co. transfer with Black Chalk Paste.
If I didn’t already have a Laundry Co. sign made with one of my Vintage Sign Stencils, I would hang this one.
Since I do, it’s available in my Etsy shop HERE. I hope someone loves it as much as I do!
