Stool Make Over

Hi! My childhood contained a lot of moving around, from South Africa, to Germany, to the US and back to Germany. But I always had my constant home in Denmark, where we have a vacation house. There was always this stool, which I love.
Now the stool is in my room, here in Hamburg and to fit more into my room, it had to go through a make over... I chose to change the color from blue to light rose. I chose this color because it is the color from something you put on your ice cream traditionally in Denmark, called "Guf".
The make over made the stool more personally for me and has become even more the symbol for summer in Denmark!

What you will need:

• color for tree
• brush
• sand paper
• (sand paper machine)

How to proceed:

1. Sand the stool, so that almost all the old color is gone.
2. Clean the stool and let it dry.
3. Paint the part of the stool you would like to be painted.
4. Let it dry and proceed with another layer of paint.
5. Let it dry two days.

The pearl is a symbol of purity, harmony and humility. I guess those are all features we want to have and for which we strive... So, why not begin by pepping up the closet?
