Junk Yard Step Chair Redo
I recently redid an old one too and it looks way more intimidating than it is. You can look on YouTube and Pinterest and even on here there are a few examples. Go for it, you can do it! I'm so happy with mine!
I love the look of this stool. That is patina. My grandparents both had these in their kitchens. You can see it has history and so many stories to tell. I remember my little brothers and sisters pulling up to the dinner table with one of these, or the dreaded chair piled with phone books. This beauty was the preferred seat in the house for the little guests.
Not too pretty right now but is still probably highly functional as it is. They were miracle chairs when new and never seemed to wear out. I would try and remove and stop rust as much as possible, put on a wooden top and paint the whole thing and then seal the paint. Not too be pretty but still a great chair!
