Re-vamped footstool - before and after

A friend passed on an old, unwanted piano stool, knowing that I liked "old things". Not owning a piano, I decided to turn it into a foot stool. I forgot to take a photo before I cut off the legs but here are the before and after pics - I'm quite pleased with the results.

Next Project - turning an old piano stool into a footstool

I found this lovely photo of a footstool on the net which has inspired me to try and make something similar. A friend recently gave us an old piano stool which would otherwise have gone to the tip, so I'm working out how to cut it down and re-upholster it to make something similar. Currently hunting out some nice fabric in shades of duck egg blue, eau de nil, cream etc. I'll show you how I get on!
