Brush Stroke Art Stool Makeover

by Anam - Delicious And DIY

You know what makes me happy? It's discovering new and amazing paint products and surely Americana DecoArt Maxx Gloss is one of my favorites from now on.
I was sent a couple of samples of the paint and after testing it out I was like WOW this stuff is good. Like really good! The paint has this amazing sheen and lacquer like finish and the best part is that its Acrylic Paints so you can clean your brushes afterwards with water which I was so happy about since the result it gives is like an oil based paint.

So anyways before I go on and on about the paints let me show you guys the before shot of the stool which got a lovely makeover.

I got this stool for free and I knew I had to test out the Maxx Gloss paint on it.

These paints are available in 20 high-gloss, trendy colors and I ended up choosing these beautiful colors which you guys can order from here or you can also find them in Michaels (in-store & online), Home Depot (select stores & online), Jo-Ann Fabric & Crafts Stores (in-store & online), and Meijer.

I started off painting the entire stool in the beautiful deep blue color Sapphire . The paint glides on in such a creamy way and has a durable, hard finish which, once fully cured, is highly resistant to household cleaning chemicals.

The next day with my masking tape I taped off two diamond patterns.

Sine I was loving the consistency of the paint I lightly painted a somewhat "Brush Stroke Art" design on it .

I started with the color Juicy Melon, Aqua Waters and for the middle I chose Orange Slice. I also used my DecoArt paintbrush which made it so much easier to get the brush stroke effect that I wanted.
