Can you say vinyl? Can you say olive green? What does that spell? “U.G.L.Y.”!
Some pretty fabric and a little paint.
Voila!
Thankfully the inspector arrived just in time.

Black Toile Stool - Met Monday
It was a busy week with life in general and Halloween preps so this week’s project is an itty bitty one. A vintage Ethan Allan stool gets a redo. Can't dispute good bones.
Some pretty fabric and a little paint.
Be sure to visit the talented people at Metamorphosis Monday –and- Project Report Monday (?) for more projects and ideas.

What a change! The toile fabric is beautiful. Where are you putting it? It needs to be upfront somewhere in your decor, because it is an attention grabber! Wonderfully done.

ReplyDeleteWow! How unique and awesome is that stool now with it's sassy little toile and black paint?! Love it....
ReplyDeleteLove the fabric...and, black.
ReplyDeleteGreat job, I love the fabric. You have a great blog. I try to repurpose everything and use everything. I guess I get it from my Dad.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting.

I love your transformation - beautiful fabric...and Your onion soup looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Vinyl is so anti-earth, and cotton is a perfect redo! Good bones are a must...I once found a Baker wing chair for $45. We'll have it forever! Great blog!
ReplyDeleteThat looks great! I love a touch of toile in a room.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your project on Progress Report Monday!!
What a great little bench! Loved how it turned out....I'm a sucker for toile!

ReplyDeleteThat toile fabric is gorgeous! Where did you find it? It looks stunning- I, like Rita, am clicking the Follow button right now! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks to all!
ReplyDeleteKatie - Believe or not I got this fabric for $8.99 a yard! I have a fabulous local (yeah! gotta love local independent stores) fabric store, called "The Mill Store", that carries a lot of decorating fabric. It's kind of dangerous for me to go there because there is so much selection. And the trims are to die for! I'm like a kid in a candy shop when I go there!
Hmmmmm.....I wonder if they would let me take some pictures the next time I go and then I could do a post.
Okay, first off I normally love weird shades of green but that one was beyond my capacity to love it. And second youre totally right about the retro tuesday thing and Im taking your advice... I just posted - its retro tuesday all week
ReplyDeleteYou totally transformed that stool from trash to treasure, great job!
ReplyDeleteLove the transformation!
