Simple Step Stool- Distressing Wood and Polyacrylic {Day 3}

I decided the step stool would look good distressed.

I always go for boring, plain, and perfection.

Plus I wanted to learn how to distress a wood. 

I used 120 grit sand paper to distress the step stool.

I was nervous that I will mess it up then I realized that I've to let the fear go. 

Then I went a little wild with distressing and it was fun.

General Finishes

Polyacrylic Water Based Top Coat.

This stuff is awesome!! I am not kidding. 

I used Scott Shop towel and wiped it down 3 coats.

 I let the paint and polyacrylic to cure for a few days.

Finally here are the results. 

Here is a picture of my little lady Gisele sitting on a lovely distressed step stool.

Yay! Now Gisele is more independent and she's able to wash her hands by herself.

I love my DIY step stool and my kids loves it too!
