Teal Stools for 5

Refinished Solid Oak Queen Headboard – Classic Black with Rattan & Elegant Details

This stunning queen-size headboard is a true statement piece, crafted from solid oak and beautifully refinished in a rich, classic black. It features gracefully curving finials, intricate oval cartouche accents, and a striking inset rattan panel that adds texture and timeless appeal. Finished with a smooth satin clear coat for durability and a subtle sheen, this headboard blends traditional charm with modern sophistication.

A very good customer needed counter stools for her new house and wanted them to be more rustic country looking. But trying to find 5 ~ 24" matching solid wood stools was a challenge. Luckily I found a set of 4 (above right) and a solo and with the magic of paint transformed them into just what they were looking for.

Above all scrubbed clean and ready to go

The customer had bought a press back chair from me she loved and wanted the stools in the same color, Cottage Paint in Teal.

Two coats were applied then distressed with a sanding block

And to seal it all up I used Cottage paint flat acrylic wax which brushes on easily and to add dimension to the great curves and crevices I highlighted them with Daddy Van's cafe noir dark wax then wiped with Daddy Van's hemp oil and a soft cloth for a soft sheen.
