I found this vanity stool/bench at Goodwill last week. I've been wanting to try painting a piece of furniture, figured I'd try something small. It doesn't really match my house, but I saw some good potential.
I unscrewed the cushion and did a light sanding to the entire piece.I applied one coat of white spray paint primer and two coats of white spray paint. The finish is smooth, as opposed to using a brush to paint.
I had a few fabric choices, but thought this would be the funnest to use. I bought this at Ikea for $1.99 for the yard back in December. I had no use for it, but thought it was cute.I found the exact center of the fabric by folding it in half (both ways) and cut it to the size that I needed. When I placed it on the cushion all I had to do was measure the sides to make sure the design fell within the exact center.
What do you think? Total transformation for a few bucks.
Thanks!

ahhh now you've gotten the BUG!! muhahahahah ;)
looks really great!!
See?! That wasn't so bad! And what a great way to find the center of the fabric.
I think maybe why you haven't tackled many painted pieces before is 'cause your fab mid-century inclined-style tends to embrace the look of natural wood. Way to go trying something new!
Next, you need to try glazing!
