Dark Stain and Yellow Milk Paint Step Stool

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.

I run milk paint classes and the perfect project is this IKEA solid wood step stool.

Milk paint loves solid wood!

Here is a stool I did with blue milk paint colors

First step is to assemble the stool, I have left the step tops off to stain with Homestead House's stain and finishing oil all in one in cappuccino. This rich dark stain goes on so well on the natural wood. I applied 2 coats lightly sanding between and after the coats dried overnight.
