Feet Up! {Thrift Stool Redo}

Amidst our mini kitchen renovation our master bedroom has managed to get a spotlight as well.  Mainly just a cozy, relaxing corner.  I have more in store for this room but nothing too crazy.  Did someone say botanical prints?  Well look at that, you read my mind.

I digress.  Back to the looker above.  I’ve been on the hunt for an ottoman.  Something simple. Something neutral.  Something CHEAP!  I found a few that I liked but they were $50+ and I couldn’t find a one that I LOVED.  I realize I sound a bit cheap but I just wasn’t willing to spend that on something I wasn’t over the moon about for the price.  Until I found this gent. Only 13 smackers…and he’s sturdy too! 



I had originally planned on doing a dipped leg effect but once I cleaned the piece up I was unsure.  I decided to paint the legs first and leave the gold/brass tips as is.  Turns out they clean up nicely and I like how they show their age…so I kept ‘em!



I also did a little nip-tuck-staple action to the cushion.  Unfortunately, I learned, after the fact, that Chris liked the brown.  Maybe, if and when the white stains I’ll debate going back.  Until then I think I’m going to put my feet up (shoeless of course) and enjoy!



Did I forget to mention that all of this hub-bub was for the Pinterest Challenge!?!?!  Where are my manners…
