Project Update & Free Supplies

I finally finished

this little stool

. I am in a garage organizing mode, and I was not going to trip over this thing one more time. How's that for motivation. Since it isn't mine, I made an 

upholstered

top in a style that would suit my friend. 

I used a remnant piece of tapestry that I knew my friend would love.

I trimmed the side with a piece of leather braiding that I found at the

NY Flea Market

. 

I finished it with antique gold

nailheads

 for extra interest.

Now that this project is over, I have decided to clean out some of my supplies...

.

and you can have them, if you want. This stool used 33

nailheads

, so I made packages of 40. I also have too many cord cleats and plastic rings for roman shades. And about 500 drapery hooks. 

If you would like any of the supplies, just leave a comment...

.

first come, first served basis (one bag of

nailheads

 per person). Please make sure I have your email address. This is for the US and Canada, only.

I'll be pinning the stool to my

Project Procrastination Board

...leave your

Pinterest

ID if you want to be a

pinner

.

Enjoy the last full weekend of August...wow, did I just type that :(

Silly Boys!

Last week, my friend dropped by with this little stool. She asked, "can you save her?"

Two different {male} contractors said she can't be fixed. Now you DIY-ers are already seeing all the possibilities.....me too! It would not be a good idea to try and repair the split top

It would probably split again over time. However, is that where your imagination ends.....boys? Have you seen her legs?

What about those feet?

She's Cinderella, and those are glass slippers! I will be working on her and posting the "after" in a few days. How wold you fix her? What would your plan of attack be?
