I found this shabby little stool at the Goodwill outlet a few weeks ago for only $2. Nothing special, but it was sturdy and obviously the price was perfect.
I needed a little perch for my basement studio and knew it would be a quick project.
A coat of stain-blocking primer and a couple of coats of my favorite black latex enamel was all it needed. That and some “dipped” gold feet. Because what doesn’t look better with gold dipped feet?
But why stop there? I covered the seat with a few layers of quilt batting (because that’s what I had on hand) and a black and white houndstooth-y upholstery fabric sample (from this long-ago haul).
It’s not really what I would call “cushy,” but it’s a bit more comfortable. And I’m crazy for black and white right now.
In situ. Yeah, the place is still kind of a mess.
