I've been intrigued with them for some time but I could never justify their price. When I found them at discount stores their quality seemed a bit lacking and I knew they likely wouldn't hold up to my rowdy crew. So I gave up on having the trendy little stool, until I found one at the thrift store for only a few dollars. It's color was not what appealed to me. It was it's weight---it felt like it was made of cement! As I muscled it to the check stand I envisioned it's makeover.It seemed that it's previous owners likely abandoned it because it had a serious injury.
I pulled out a glob of plumbers epoxy putty, made the necessary repair, and waited for the putty to dry.
Once dry I sanded the area and then applied a few coats of paint-plus-primer.The little stool has a new life and I am a proud trend follower!
It looks lovely! Great job.

ReplyDeleteI scored a blue white one in perfect condition at consignment shop for on $14. I use it and wish I could get a few more to use, but th price range for others is too high for me.
