Did the multi-finish on the step stool. On the steps, I used the Minwax Pre-Stain Conditioner, followed by Minwax 'Early American' stain and then Minwax clear gloss polyurethane. The rest of the stool was painted with DIY chalk paint. The paint is 1 cup flat paint (Valspar Jungle Thicket) mixed with 1/3 cup plaster of paris and 1/3 cup water. The chalk paint portion was finished with the Minwax Finishing Paste Wax and gave the flat paint look a nice sheen.
