A simple little revamp of an old piano stool here. Despite it's original wear and tear, it came up fantastically with a lick of paint.

If I was an ugly piece of furniture, I don't know whether I'd be pleased to see you, or whether I'd start running the other way.
ReplyDeleteCoconutty, you are a master at completely revamping these pieces ... are you keeping them all or have you plans to sell them?
It looks wonderful! I agree, the inside is so cheery and pretty. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI love piano stools. I associate them with my Nana's garage where she kept her piano amongst the stacks of other trinkets and games. There was always a musty smell around whenever I'd jump on the stool and play my heart out. Such a vivid memory. And brought back to me thanks to you and this post today! xx
ReplyDeleteGreat job, Sonia! I love that stencilling inside, what a neat surprise when you open the lid :)
ReplyDeleteI also love the blue glasses used as vases...in fact I have three very similar that I was about to chuck out as I got some new ones last week. You have changed my mind on that, so thanks!

ReplyDelete"You sho is ugly!" That's one of my favourite lines from one of my favourite movies the Color Purple, and it definitely applies to the before photo! This looks so lovely now Sonia. I really love the stencil too! I want to attempt this one day soon. I love the way you decorate. xx
