Just found this, that is an awesome job and great timing as I found one kinda like that for $2 but the legs are straight. Now I know what to do with it. Thanks to you and Christy from confessions of a serial do it I have the confidence to keep going. You all make it look so easy and so I have found my new love…. ????????

Eileen,

It sounds like you have a very nice project makeover! Old stuff can really be very pretty and useful, eh?

Thanks for sharing!

Very nice! I did a foot stool recover too, of a garage sale find. The finish was acceptable as is but it needed a new top. I found a remnant of some high end ostrich skin patterned vinyl in black at 50% off at a fabric store. Added an extra inch and a half of firm foam and staple gunned everything together. The corners I folded similar to bed sheets on a bed.I folded the tips in first then wrapped the sides down over the top. Mine even came with a hinged top which I kept, but I don’t use it for storage for anything since I really do use it to prop my feet up at night while sitting on the coach. It helps with my circulation. I was going to use a large covered button through the top for a tufted look but my husband liked it better smooth and it looks nice and it has been nice on my heels.

In reply to Ravon.

That’s a funny question Ravon. I wondered the same thing. He did stop by the booth the other day while I was working. He sells a LOT of stuff, so I’m not sure he would put 2 and 2 together. 😉

Does John (vendor 169) ever notice his stuff sneaking back into the shop, all fancied up?

Much cuteness without a lot of work – my kind of project. However, every time I see furniture with those kind of legs, I can’t help imagining it dancing across the room a la “Beauty and the Beast.” It creeps me out, so I avoid bow-legs.

I’m not sure how to write you have a good looking stool without it sounding bad.
