A few Several weeks ago I told you to check back and see what I did to this cute little stool I purchased for $10 at Mud Puppy Antiques in Winder. Well, I did my part that same weekend, but it took quite a few weekends before my better half took care of his part! Actually, once I paid for the purchase the lady at the store pointed out why the price tag said "as is". I thought it was because it was a little wobbly. Obviously there is a bit of history behind this sturdy little stool. One of it's legs must have been broken because it had 3 identical legs and one that did not match - it had a bit more "details" than the other 3 did. I decided that was fine; it gave it character and I could always turn it so that "different" leg didn't show. It could be my little secret.
The hubs sanded all the wood down really well for me and then I got busy painting and crackling! I picked up the awesome fabric at Hob Lob of course - 30% off that week - and made quick work of covering the cushion for a new look. Once it was done, I needed the legs evened up because that "different" leg was a little bit shorter and the stool was actually a bit tall. So finally this past Sunday my sweet husband finished his part of the project and cut the legs off so they were all even. No more rocking! I added some felt pads to the bottom of each leg and now for the unveiling of my new stool . . . . .
What do you think? I love it. Especially when I put my feet up to watch Castle, One Tree Hill or Revenge!!
