Refinished Oval Table and Stool

One of my favorite yard sale finds this year was this oval cocktail table.  It was in solid shape and although nicked and scratched, I just liked the size and shape of it...

 

 

Chablis sanded it down really good....

And then she painted it an off white, distressed it and finished it up by waxing and buffing it....

This next piece was my grandmothers step stool.  I have no idea how old it is, but I do remember using it at her house in the 1960's.  Somewhere along the way I inherited it and one of my dogs chewed up the edge of it....

 Last month when Louie was on his "Get this crap out of my garage" rampage, annual autumn garage clean up, we happened to find the stool shoved up on a shelf behind some old paint cans.  I have no idea how it ever ended up there.  Anyway, Chablis grabbed it and decided to refinish it for herself.  She just gave it a light sanding and then painted it dark brown and waxed it.  Sweet and simple and a nice keepsake from her great grandmother!

I think she should stencil something on it, but I'm not sure what yet.  Any ideas?
