Industrial stool before and after

I convinced my friend Katie we should be pickers for a day and boy oh boy did we have fun pickin’! Now I want to be a picker when I grow up.

Here’s one of my favorite finds for only .25 cents. A quarter people!

Some serious sanding, dark wood stain, and a little polycrylic finish.

She’s found a home in my master bathroom and I love her.

This is one room that needs some TLC but is on the bottom of a long to do list.

I just found the mirror in the Ikea As-Is department for ten bucks and I love having a full length mirror in my bathroom. Here’s how this nook use to look:

Much better!

    wow what a find! Love it :)

  • That must have been some serious sanding. I love the finish on the seat; it almost looks like leather.

  • So cool! I love how that stool looks in your bathroom.

    I have a picking hobby too. Today I posted about a plaster column I found and repainted.

    looks like two stools!

    I must admit – i think i liked the graffiti. Did anyone ever graffiti about you? MY husband claims that he saw 'I want to be a cake of soap in Richard Forsyth's bath' on his geography table…

    love the look. Love this blog. I am a bit desperate to know what will happen when house is finito. Bit like the approach of the final episode of some great teeve show.
