Yard Sale Makeover With Spray Paint
In August, I found a yucky, paint splattered wreck of a vintage step stool at the Krylon 127 Yard Sale aka World's Longest Yard Sale.
I purposely bought it because it was in bad shape, was ugly and was cheap.
Normally I like my junk rusty, chippy and well loved, but this was on a whole different level.

Someone had obviously used it as their painting ladder and never before heard of using paper towels to wipe up paint spills, so I decided to pretty her up a bit.
I used Krylon's Covermaxx spray paint in White (gloss) and Jade (satin).
I used one can of white on the legs and roughly 1/2 can of Jade on the steps. The coverage of the Covermaxx was AMAZING! Three light coats of the white covered up a multitude of paint splatter sins. There's just something about the mistiness (if I can be so technical) that I liked.

Great paint choice! What a nice makeover. That stool now has a whole new life.

Two things, I did not know the sale was called Krylon’s also my mom has the same step stool, and the one you bought, which you, feel was in bad shape was showroom finish compared to my moms. And, for whatever reason, she doesn’t care one bit about that darned thing. Bingo, is top of her priorities list… 🤣 Not her step stool. God love her!😛

*** Years later *** somewhere in Ohio off of route 127, there’s a lady who adores the vintage step ladder you redid. My goodness, that color of jade you chose, I think looks minty fresh, is so totally perfect!
Just curious, where did you shop the 127 yard sale at? Oh, I’m going again this year, too! Maybe deeper into the south. I can hardly wait! 127 YARD SALE?! LET’S GO SISTER!! 💕
