boy was it ugly! I asked how much they wanted for it and was told a buck. I
thought why not, if I can't redo it, it's only a buck I lose. You should have seen
the looks I got as I passed others to carry it to the cashier. Those that attended
the sale with me asked if I had lost my mind! Maybe but who wants to be normal
anyway?! Different should have been my middle name.
Today was such a beautiful day so I thought I'd pull him out and scrub him
down with some soap & water using Brillo Pads. I ran to Joann's to pick out
some fabric, I went straight to the clearance isle and found a nice pattern full
of bright colors. Here's a peek at the ugly before. In a day or two he'll be all
decked out and very useful.....
was marked half off, that's right I got him for a mere fifty cents!! Fabric was $3 and
I'm going to use paint and primer that I already have, so less than $5 when it's all
said and done!!!
Can't wait to see the after pictures!
ReplyDeleteMe either good luck with this project!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait myself! The gentlemen that sold it were in their 60s & 70s, they said they could remember being tots sitting on it while their mother prepared the family meal!
ReplyDeletehappy step stool facelift! i did mine in oilcloth...which was a bit awkward over the back but worked out great...I have kids so I need durability. Thanks for stopping by my blog the other day.
ReplyDeleteNicole I'm done, thought I'd make sure paint was cured before I put it back together. I know what you mean I have grands so I went old school in my solution for spills & sticky fingers, lol.
