Made By ME Monday!

...or should I say
Makeover Monday!

______________________________________

I found this stool


the other day at the thrift store and paid $7.99 for it.
I wouldn't have normally paid THAT much
for something, but I really liked it!
I loved the white color that it had on it already,
 but gave it a new coat of white just so I could call it "mine"! :)


 Then, I found this yummy polka dot material


 over at Joanne's... LOVE it!

I couldn't find my staple gun,
so I went with the next best thing, screws and...


 thumb tacks!


 Hey, whatever works!


My niece found some adorable rose ribbon
while we were ribbon shopping, and I had to have it!!
So, I added it to the edges of my stool and...
VIOLA


What do you think? Do you like it with or without the ribbon?
I can't decide.

Hmmm. The ribbon has more spunk but it would be more versitle without the ribbon.

I personally LOVE the red ribbon. I have a chair that may look good with a similar frill...I just LOVE this look!

Natalie said...

I LOVE the rose ribbon, but I like the stool better without the ribbon. Maybe if it was hot pink. Is it hot pink? or red? Totally cute either way. LOVE the polka dots. ;)
