IKEA step stool relove with milk paint & stain


I love the solid wood pieces from IKEA as they come unfinished ready to paint or stain. When Fusion Paint / Homestead House came out with their new stain and oil all in one I was stoked to try it out and my newly purchased IKEA step stool was the perfect choice to try it on.

I chose the cappuccino stain, a dark brown to go on the steps. Since you put these together yourself, the steps were easy to stain quickly and easily and in one step!!


here is the step stool top before


 and after just 1 coat of the all in one. I wipe on with a blue shop towel, wait for about 10 minutes then wipe excess off with a fresh blue shop towel.

This product is amazing - 1 step to stain and seal. Apply as many coats as you desire allowing to dry well between coats.


 For the body of the stool I went with Miss Mustard Seed milk paint in 2 colors; my favorite Eulalie's sky and my first time trying, kitchen scale.

UPDATE - those colors may no longer be available but here are many Fusion milk paint colors to choose from
And my link will give you 10% off your order as well!


did you know the best way to keep your milk paint fresh is to store in a glass jar? I cut the label out and tape to the jar. Do you believe that it Eulalie's dry milk paint above in the jar top left?


I gave my newly purchased Fusion Mineral paint brush a go and it was awesome, really nice synthetic bristles with just a slight angle to the brush that worked perfect in these small areas.


I wanted the two colors to meet near the middle for a fun look. For each color I applied 2 coats, letting dry between and after then sealed it with clear furniture wax.


here it is in my kitchen, I love this tall stool as my cabinets go up 9 feet ;)
