Another Love of Mine.........

Hi everybody :)

I hope you are all having a lovely day .... even with all of the silly rain :)

Today I thought I'd share with you another love of mine....doing up old yucky-looking furniture :)

One reason why I loves the carboot sales is that you can get old furniture for pretty cheap :) My boyfriend G has now bought me two footstools for about 2 pounds each!! :) Today I thought I would show you what I have done to jazz one of them up :) (I forgot to take a picture before i started to do it up because i am silly and got too excited about my little re-upholstering job....so it was brown and cream with strange little chinese ladies on before...not really to my taste) :)

My mum very kindly painted the legs of the footstool white and then i covered it in some YUMMY Liberty fabric which i found in a little antiques shop in the town where I live :) AMAZING FIND!! :) I then added some pom-pom trim around the edge (because I LOVE the pom pom trim) :)




That is one of my kitty cats Rosie posing with the footstool bytheway :) She seems to be guarding it from me :) Both of my cats do love to lie on things that I have made....covering them in hairs and dirty footprints!! :) naughty kittys :)

Thank you for looking :) I've just got a new wooden stool so I shall be jazzing that up soon too :)

Big hugs and smiles :)
