Imagine that the stool below is stained a hideous redwood color. Then imagine that it is broken down and falling apart – on its last legs, if you will. Would you snatch it (almost literally) from the arms of the sanitation engineer on its way to the dump? Of course you (we) would!

Because we know a diamond in the rough when we see one! I gave this baby copious coats of paint and used Mod Podge to attach a US map to the top. A couple of new bolts for the legs and we were back in business!

My kitties, Toasty and Fiona, love to sit on it and look out the window. I hope you like it, too! Thanks for stopping by!
