I'm talking about this kind of stool...
Found it at my favorite thrift stores and I paid less then 5 dollars for it!!! When ever i see cool furniture that is upholstered I usually walk away because I have no clue how to upholster unless the upholstered part is removable. Then I can just wrap the fabric around and secure it with heavy duty staples. And in this case it lifted right off! There is a space for storage, maybe it's an old vanity bench or something??
So I knew I wanted to paint it white but I wasn't sure what fabric I wanted for the seat. Then I saw some brown zebra at hobby Lobby and knew right away that is what I wanted. I thought it would be a fun accent that wouldn't be overbearing since it's on a small scale. Next came the paint choice. After running my zebra fabric idea by Cassie she suggested Summer White by Sherwin Williams. So I bought a sample and I could not be more thrilled with the results!! I plan on giving it a high gloss look as soon as I get to the store for some poly.
Now my oldest has a pretty place to sit to put on her shoes and get her book bag ready for school.
And speaking of color...I dyed my hair...

Love the stool! I have a funny story about zoology that I probably shouldn't share, but it has to do with a 5-legged slide show. I'll leave it at that. ;) The hair- gorgeous!! You are too darling for words.
