Feed sack bar stools…
We’ve had these bar stools for ages & consequently they were looking a little the worse for wear. Originally selected because of their substantial weight, they have therefore stood the test of time pretty well … amazing for something built in the last 10 – 15 years (what with planned obsolescence & all that).
Anyway, I’ve been planning a bit of an update for a LONG time & have finally got around to re-working my test stool with one of the feed sacks I bought on etsy. I’m chuffed with the way it looks & will be giving the same treatment to the remaining two bar stools.
I think that the natural colour of the calico looks much better against my kitchen bench than the gloss white ever did.
This is essentially decoupage – prooving that ye olde crafts really are the best & there is nothing new in the world.
Thanks for listening to me waffle on & have a great day.

I can’t understand why you haven’t been ‘discovered’ yet.
Bloody brilliant x

Nice work, and if you don’t mind my saying provides a little personality and ‘homely’ feel to your otherwise contemporary space. Not that I don’t like clean lines et al. A perfect balance.

Just when I think you couldn’t possibly bring out something even more fabulous than the last extremely fabulous project you shared… you go and do this!
I am beginning to suspect you are actually 100 clever crafters hiding behind the one name Ms Kootoyoo…
Which is my way of saying I LOVE the stool

Just the word ‘decoupage’ prompts me to break out in a cold sweat. But if THAT’S what decoupage is, then hand me the mod podge (or whatever other faintly scary adhesive you used).
PS. Yes, the naughty corner chair has been on indefinite hold. Possibly now gearing up for a second wind.
