My Creative Space - A Little Love...

I was so impressed by some super duper stool makeovers over at May The Cloth Be With You last week.  So, when I found this little old gem at the op shop the other day for a whole $5, screaming out to me, begging me to take it home & make it pretty, that is just what I did...

Before...
After...

Sweet don't you think...
I haven't quite finished, I've only tacked on the trim, I'm not sure I want to keep it that way, but I do think it's pretty & it does tie in nicely with my refurbished lamp shade from last week...

To share in a little creativity pop over to Kirsty's.

    OMG! I adore this. It's absolutely perfect! $5 well spent, I'd say.

    It's a stunner , the fabric is gorgeous and i think the trim really makes it . I've not seen anyone do that so i reckon its pretty unique , with a big emphasis on the pretty .
