My ultra kewl vanity seat is alone no more. It now has a friend. As I was staining my side dresser, I was able to finish up my foot stool. So efficient I know! In-between coats of stain, I painted the foot stool. And it looks super fun!

I think painting the foot stool really took advantage of the details carved into the stool. It looked so dated before but now looks very modern. Not bad for approximately $10 and a few hours of labour!
Here's the foot stool with my vanity seat. Looking pretty darn FAB!
Next weekend I plan to work on my $5 rocking chair. I had to admit defeat on this one... The paint just would NOT come out - I tried paint stripper to no avail. I have a plan now for this one - here's hoping it works out! :-)

Recent Finds
I have found some neato items at the thrift stores lately. I picked up this vintage magazine rack for $3. It was a brass colour - I sanded it yesterday and the brass colour peeled off. It got a little messy! I decided to spray paint it black since I'll probably have it with my vanity seat/foot stool pieces.

Here's to next weekend and getting more projects out of the way! Happy crafting!
