Trash to Treasure



 My mom was cleaning out one of her closets and found this little stool. She forgot she even had it and was going to throw it out. Well I couldn't have that, so I saved it and gave it new life!






 So what do you think? I know it seems like all my posts lately  have been about something in my living room. I promise this is it (for now that is ;)!!
                           Have a great week!

Your stool is simply darling! I love it. Martina, did you give your stool a coat of black then the white? I notice you can see black where it has been distressed and I have wondered how that is done.
Hugs, Cindy

I'm sure the little stool thanks you Martina. It looks much happier now.

So cute! I have some similar fabric, and now I have to decide what to put it on since I don't have a cute little stool...

62 foreverdecorating said...

I used that same fabric on two lyre back chairs that I have in my booth. I love it. Maybe I should use it on something for me like you did. Great look.

63 Laura said...

Martina- it looks wonderful!
