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.

    I guess it's the polka dots, but I can't help but think of "I love Lucy" when I look at the stool. Love it!!

    really liked the polka dot transformation. Polka dots just make me happy. :) Then you took over the top with that red trim. Truly inspired and inspiring.
    Love it.

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

    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. ;)

    With the roses, totally. While it's cute w/o, the roses add that splash of color to make it really pop!
