please be seated

 
There is something very satisfying about picking
up a daggy piece of furniture
 
 
and turning it into

 
something really nice

 
and very pretty.

 
This piece is going to be really useful too because when
I was working on it I discovered it has a space under
the seat that I could file documents or.......
 
 
.... other important things .

    I just love this Clare... I've got a little telephone table I picked up in an op shop. It has the seat and a table at the side with a little draw. I was feeling slack for thinking I should repaint it and cover the seat again (considering it is in excellent condition for a vintage piece) , so I've been sitting on the fence for some time about what to do lol! I'm a pink girl all the way, so just looooove your stool. :)

    Just beautiful Clare...can you please tell me the name of that fabric...I just love it!
    I've picked up a few old pieces of furniture from oppys or council cleanup and given them a new life it is so satisfying to see them come alive again!

    Clare, don't you know the dangers of online-ness. You should never say when you are leaving for a holiday or where you hide the chocolate...
    Awesome seat !

    Oh I've been looking for one of these for soooo long. Only ones I seem to find though are piano stools, so just that bit wider. Oh well, perhaps a bigger seat it is, you've got me inspired! Love the fabric btw :)

    I love seeing furniture makeovers. You certainly turned that stool from drab to fab with some gorgeous fabric and a lick of paint. (and I love the hiding spot too !)

    Visiting from Sew Darn Crafty. This is awesome. Did it have a chair back that you took off or did it start as a stool? Well done

    You did a wonderful job of recovering and restoring your sewing machine stool. And your right that compartment underneath is so useful for storing things in.
