A French footstool make over……

 

I bought this cute little French footstool a couple of weeks ago.

While it was in nice condition the green needlepoint fabric didn’t coordinate with anything in my house.

So, I opted to remove the fabric and replace it with a toile one.

After removing the old fabric and pulling all the staples out I added a little batting over the top

before putting the new fabric on.

I added a little gimp to finish it off and re-used the brass nail tacks.

It’s such a cute little footstool, I’m sure it will make the rounds in the house

before I find the perfect spot for it?!?!?

A little Frenchie stool……


The other day I recovered this little antique stool in toile fabric to match the window treatments in the guest bedroom.

This is what it looked like when I first bought it……..
The finish was in good shape, however the fabric was pretty soiled.
