Last year I found these great stools from JC Penney. They were inexpensive and I loved the faux bamboo look, so I scooped up two of them. I knew I could simply screw off the top and spray paint the base. The shape of the cushion seemed easy enough to recover too.
And then I recovered the tops in a pretty Balinese fabric my Mom had leftover.
They instantly felt more exotic and custom to me. Whenever I see them, they bring a smile to my face.
8 months later, I've moved and the decor of my new place is heading in a whole different direction. So I'm actually planning to change up the base and fabric on top. In a way it makes me sad to lose this pair, but I can always change it back if I want. Plus I'll always have the pictures!
So Cindy Crawford Stools VS My Stools... who wins in a boxing match?
** These particular stools are no longer available, but I wanted to point out that this could be done with any piece. Just find a stool with an interesting shape, add a bold color and a new fabric that makes you happy and boom amazing new stools for you!
Thanks so much for having me over, Mary! It was fun to share.
