Enhancing a Bar Stool

Hello everyone!

Last weekend, my sister and I went to an antique show that was in my area.  We had such a good time looking around and being able to get out of the house for some much needed fresh air.  The weather has greatly improved since our last snow storm!  

I found this cute little painted stool.


I added the rubber feet since it didn't have anything on it to protect the floors.

But, I also added one more thing.  I had this ruffled stool cover that Ann made me a while back.  So, I took it off the foot stool that it was on, and draped it over this stool instead.


I liked the softness it gave to the stool.  I may actually try to get one custom made for it, though, since this one is a little bit big.

But, in the meantime, I like this just fine.  It matches the chair covers I have in the breakfast area too.


Now, you see where it ended up.  It's in the kitchen.  I must have a thing for stools, because I noticed that I have quite a few!  

Hope you are enjoying this weekend.  It will be a busy one for me.  I'm going on a home tour and then we have a birthday celebration to attend.

Thanks for stopping by.

    The stool looks perfect in your kitchen. I have just noticed your amazing lamp (I've been looking for a similar one to my bedroom). Have a great weekend.

    LOL- What is it with stools? I have a few here and there, too. I think when I see them they are like unadopted orphans. Love yours and the ruffled top looks cute on it. Wish I lived closer I would teach you to sew one yourself. xo Diana

    I love your sweet little stool.

    I used to have 5 or 6 stools, but my kids are great about removing things when I am not looking. I am down to 2 stools. I guess I need to go to the Wednesday Flea Market in town (that I have never visited) and find one.

    Hi Kelly ~ What a cute stool. Cute with and without the topper. Looks cute in the kitchen beneath the lamp.

    I complete my Spring Change in the bedroom...dark colors are out, and cheery blue is in..including my old priscilla curtains I love.

    Kelly, I just LOVE the stool, I never could have passed it up either! Maybe you could put a small pillow under the cover to fill it out. Ann does beautiful work!

    I love your little stool with its ruffled slipcover, Kelly! I'm like you, only I keep finding children's chairs. I brought home another one the other day because it was too darn cute to leave at the antique store.

    Your kitchen looks lovely.

    I like the softeness it gives to the metal stool, and I actually like that it drapes over it.

    I'm attracted to stools, as well, but have no room for them, so I just admire from afar. I love yours, and it makes a nice addition to your kitchen.
