~Weekend Projects:Stool Sample Before~









Stool Sample..... not really but it does look pretty shitty... It has been sitting in our kitchen since we moved in. I love the vintage style and the sweet 50's color and it was also Brian's Great Uncle's so it has some sentimental value. Since it's a balmy 52*(yes I even put my houseplants outside!) I'm working on it along with some other projects today. I will be chipping off the rest of the petrified plastic that is now like glass and working on cleaning/refinishing the chrome. Here is a link if you need some advice or tips when working with vintage chrome for old chairs, tables, bikes etc. Also a friend of mine says using FINE steel wool and WD-40 works well. The glue from the plastic treading is coming off pretty easy and I have high hopes that in the next week or so it will be looking a bit more fresh. Have a great weekend!
