I had been debating about this foot stool for some time now. I found it in a second hand shop in Kalamazoo, Mi. when I was visiting my daughter, Jennifer. I was quite proud of the fact that I snagged it up for just $10 ! However, when I got it home it just didn't quite feel right in it's present condition. So, I changed it...and I've changed it again..this is the final result.
I took the old embroidered top off and painted over the distressed white I had done earlier. I used 2 coats of licorice black acrylic paint. I had a scrap remnant of black and white striped canvas material and used that for the new top. Using my trusty mini staple gun, I tacked my new top on in no time! Applying a light coat of MinWax finishing paste (I love this stuff!)with a soft brush, I let it set for 10 minutes and then gently buffed it off. I screwed the top back on and there it is!! My little stool will look very at home in my bedroom in front of an old caned chair I'm redoing. Until next time! Carpe Diem! Raylene
