Dumpster Find Makeover - Upholstered Stool

This little before and after

will have you taking a second look in a dumpster

or garage sale.

Yep,

that's where this little work horse came from.

I call it that because I find so much function in stools.

They are that handy little "sit upon" in the corner

that can really provide extra seating when you need it.

So, originally it was a taller stool.

I wanted it shorter so I cut inches off of the legs.

I dry brushed white over the wood for a worn painted look.

I added some batting under a new upholstery fabric

and covered the old vinyl.

Then added some silver nail head (upholstery tacks)

for detail.

This is a quick project that will give you

a great functional piece.

Before and Afters -

Always fun!

Have a great day,

Deb
