What started out as this, a cool stool that I got for free...
ended out as this, decorated with my book puff balls:
Ok so like I said, it started out like a stool:
But sadly, after so much use, the top just popped right off!
Which to me, was such a shame because it is such a cool stool to me!
So I got thinking what I could do for it...
Then the thought came to me a few weeks ago when I was preparing for the craft fair. I was trying to figure out a way to hang my puff balls and tested out putting a branch in the stool as a way to hang them.
LOVE it! And as you can see from the fair, it turned out really cool!
So when I got home, I wanted to have a cool piece like that somewhere and I found the perfect place!
For holiday fun, I added eggs! I think i'll put fun ornaments for every holiday throughout the year!
So tell me what you think? Should I paint the stool a different color or leave it?

I agree, it was a cool stool, but you definitely gave it a whole new, beautiful life! Talk about "born-again"! So creative, sophisticated and artful!
It was truly a pleasure having you link-up to "A Little Birdie Told Me..." at Rook No. 17". I hope you'll swing by to share your talent again soon!
