This little footstool is a project that I have been thinking about for a while. I ended up with this stool from my first unit. It belonged to the previous owner and as she had no further use for it the stool became mine. I am not a big fan of the orange veour, and the foam has seen better days, but I think the structure is good. I would like to paint it silver and reupholster the seat.
I had vaguely looked at fabric at Spotlight before, but the prints and fabrics were uninspiring. I also considered the fabrics by
Ink & Spindle however I was not sure if they would be a heavy enough weight.
Since my vague looks
Ink & Spindle have added a 360gsm canvas weight fabric to their collection. The fabrics are from their Tamarillo collection, and I am tring to decide what I would like to use. There are six canvas weight fabrics to choose from, my two current favourites are below but I am undecided as to whether a bold colour would be better or a neutral.
The fabric is also certified organic fair trade.
The photo shows the stool in the master bedroom. The walls are still to be painted but only to a slightly darker beige and the carpet will remain.
Thoughts and comments welcomed.
