Painting A Stool With A Mackenzie-Childs Look
Painting a checkerboard pattern isn't as hard as it looks. You just need some black and white paint and a stool to paint on. You can also use this pattern on just about anything and achieve a classic checkered pattern.
I started with this super sale bench from a local store.
I painted the legs black and the top white.
If you use a brush close in size to your checks it makes life much easier..... :)
Add some color through your checks and check the feet if you want.
Don't let the checks scare you! Check out my blog for more checkered items and tips on how to achieve this look.

How did you determine the size of the checks and where did you begin taping? Did you begin in the middle and work out or did you start at the edge?

i'd use a sponge the size of desired squares. that would work too.

Get paint brush in the size you want. Much easier.
