Remember last week when I told you about my ‘Australian Pickers’ expedition. . . well, I scored some pretty good finds that day, some of which I showed you back here.
I was delighted to pick up this stool/table. . . not sure what it is but it is sturdy enough to be used as either. . . anyhoosies, my picker buddy Miss Meli was sent in to the rubble to retrieve it for me when I spied it hiding under and behind lots of other ‘junk’. . . thank you Meli ♥
I knew instantly this ‘what-ever-it-is’ was something special and unique. She stands 48cm high with a 33 cm wide chunky top. The insert which was covered in green fabric was removed and stripped. Underneath that fabric was an excellent piece of timber, so I decided to paint it rather than re-cover it.
For those of you who follow my journey on Facebook, you’ll already recognise this little stool.
I asked your advice on whether to stick with my shabby white theme or go with a black industrial look. . . shabby white was the all round winner!
So she got several coats of antique white paint. . . some distressing and flyspecking. . . and finished with a good sanding.
Initially I was planning a French themed clock face for the insert. . .
but after looking at it for awhile my heart screamed soft shabby white roses.
What do you think?
I’m partying here with these great gals this week. . . pop by and check out all the delights.
