I found this tired old bench/stool for just a few bucks. I loved her legs and the unusual kidney shaped seat. What I didn't like was she was pretty beat up and her fabric seat had been covered in plastic that was coming apart.
But she had great bones and she was solid!
After removing a million staples, I found out the seat was supported with leather straps that were cracked and some broken. So Mr. C cut some wood to fit and put in several supports.
I already had the fabric from another project which I love! I painted her a deep black, added new foam to her new wood seat, new batting and the fabric. She turned out better than I had imagined.
Isn't she a doll? Now to find her a new home.
Thanks for stopping by and come back again!!
