| My finished stools |
Yesterday after work my sister and I had a couple of hours working hard recovering various stools. This is something I find really satisfying as they look so good when done.
My sister had never completed one before and was a bit nervous about doing it herself. Last year I had a lovely morning with
Steff also doing this.
I was going to write a tutorial as we did this, but got so enthusiastic about getting stuck in and making the change that I forget to take photos of some major steps - so next time!
The material is oilcloth from
Femme de Brocante, a Rangiora shop to die for. One of my favourites and always have amazing specials.
I would like your opinion though - Sometimes I think it is really neat to leave the industrial look of furniture to show it's heritage.
On the step stool do you think I should scrub it clean of paint etc to make it shiny and new or should I leave the smart top and the industrial look? Please do give me feedback on that.
