Refurbished Foot Stool

Refurbished Stool. 

This stool's original leather patchwork cover was slowing falling to bits so I decided to take the opportunity to upcycle the whole piece of furniture. 

The old leather cover and straw cushioning were stripped away to leave the wooden legs and base which I then painted in my favorite Rosewood varnish to get the dark chocolate brown colour that I love so much! As well as a new foam cushion, a new cover was made from a section of a cardigan that I had bought at a charity shop and together they were stapled to the stool base.
