Pre-Blogging Stools Project

As I get things ready for my upcoming yard sale, I thought I’d share one of the items I’m selling.

I had purchased three very plain stools a long time ago.   They had that fake black leather top and were anywhere from $6.99 to $9.99 a piece {who can remember after almost 20 years!}.  I had purchased them to use for seating around our pool table area {a place to perch while you waited your turn}.

I had found this great fabric on eBay {there was no etsy then either, and I got quite a bit of fabric off eBay} and I had purchased it to recover these stools.  I was able to use different sections of the fabric to show off the various “gaming” images depicted on it.

I used a teal {small} brush fringe that I had at the time.

Of course, these days, I would probably have painted the legs.

Just one of my many projects done before blogs were even born!

    That was a perfect fabric for a game room. I have a few of those "before blogging" projects in my house. Some I might show now...a lot of them, not so much!
    Good luck with the sale.

    As I told your sister, batten down the hatches and be safe! I think you might be canceling that garage sale of yours!!
