When I Was lucky enough to find a vintage vanity stool I knew I wanted to do something special
I was thinking old Hollywood glamor, but I knew it was going to be a stretch with this old stool
Then while out at the thrift store I found these fabulous drapes, complete with a fringe valance
Now, we all know how much fabric we get from drapes, and they only cost a couple dollars at the thrift store
But, if you're like me, I always forget to look at the rack of drapes. For the yardage, it sure beats the fabric store, even with a 50% off coupon.
The silk flowers are on a pin so they can be easily removed. I put this stool in my booth at Orange Tree for $48
Yep, I think I achieved some old Hollywood glamour!
Remember to check out the fabric alternatives while out thrifting!
Happy Creating!

That is special Carol, I love what you did! Looks like it took a lot of time, but so worth it!
How very chic! Oh, I always look at the drapes, tablecloths, etc. It's all fabric to me. Love the way you upcycled that damsel in distress.
Oh yeah ! that is glamorous ... and I'm always lookin' to see if there are any good drapes. Still can't get to my sewing machine though so am using the bonding tape.

This stool is breathtaking!! I will have to look for pretty drapes to re purpose! Awesome job!
Incredible! Love her. Hey, if Jane is David Copperfied, then you are Houdini!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your blog! I have opened an antique booth recently after reading your blog. I have wanted to for years, and finally did after getting encouragement from your blog. I am having so much fun decorating my booth, and I just wanted to say thank you for that. :)
Hi Carol!
Yes, I'd say you accomplished the look you were striving for.
Carol, you definitely nailed it! I am in love!
Totally sweet Miss C! You certainly nailed it. I have two benches just like this only one has a back on it! I LOVE THEM and they are hard to find these days!
YOU DID GOOD!

so darling-love it!
You definitely did Carol. This is gorgeous! It won't last long in your booth.
I always forget to look at the drapes when I'm at the thrift, and now I can see what I have been missing.
sending hugs...
Turned out absolutely gorgeous!!!
Carol you have a beautiful creative heart! Love it! Anne
Carol,
Another great idea!! I have these curtains in my Living Room in deep tan and in the DR, in rose!! LOL!!

Perfect for a princess! Very lovely and the work you put into refurbishing it just shines through Carol!

Fancy! I like how girly it is!
Gorgeous Hollywood glamour! I know what you mean about fabric cost. I just bought for three windows and thought I was going to have to mortgage my house!
Wow! Looks Like Royalty Glamour too!! That is just gorgeous Carol!! I always shoot right for the Linens, I've even taken some great buys straight to the cleaners before bringing them home. I agree the prices are always the best, the storage in my house isn't! But you just can't pass special fabric up, at least I cant! Thanks for sharing Carol, it truly is beautiful!!
Huggs, Nancy
Wow Carol, that is quite the transformation. It sure does have that Hollywood glamour. It turned out awesome. I just love, love, love all the fabric you can get from drapes and bed linens and for cheap at the thrift stores. Have a wonderful day.
Hugs and Kisses,
♥Ana
