FANCY STENCILED FOOTSTOOL REDO!

I JUST GOT FINISHED WITH THIS

PIECE IT'S AN OLD FOOTSTOOL
I BOUGHT AT AN ESTATE SALE.

BEFORE-

THIS IS SIMILAR TO WHAT

MY FOOTSTOOL LOOKED LIKE, CAN'T
FIND THE ORIGINAL PIC.

I DECIDED TO TAPE OFF A

STRIPED DESIGN ON THE TOP

AND THEN PAINT OVER IT AND LET
THE WOOD FINISH COME THROUGH. 

I ADDED A NUMBER 3 STENCIL TO

THE TOP AND PAINTED IT RED
TO PUNCH IT UP A LITTLE!

I GOT THE STENCIL AT LOWES
BACK BY THE MAILBOXES.

AND AFTER...

I DISTRESSED IT AND GAVE IT

THAT RUSTIC FEEL~

HOPE YOU LIKE IT. IM
GOING TO PUT MY FEET UP
AND HAVE SOME LEMONADE!

GUEST POSTING!

How I became the proud owner of five neglected wishbone chairs

I always keep my eyes and ears open on the hunt for great vintage treasures. Last week I decided to randomly type in the words 'bentwood chair' in the search box of our local Gumtree and in the listings I found something that immediately caught my eye. I contacted the owner to arrange a viewing and in his back garden I found five battered, dirty, damaged chairs - but of an unmistakable design and the leftovers of the labels on the bottom made me smile from ear to ear: here I had no less than five original Hans Wegner wishbone chairs. He got them from a house-clearing somewhere, some time. I couldn't believe my eyes - nor the price: £60 for the lot! They do need complete re-lacquering and seat replacement at some point, but for now I am the proud owner of a beautiful set of salvaged Danish designer classics.

Looking good around our beech dining table!

I added cushions...to prevent my cats from getting their claws into those vintage paper cord seats!

Some more wishbone chair love (in much more grand and stylish homes than mine ;-) ...
