I'm starting to build up inventory for the Polka Dot Flea...First up three stools
Stools are always a great seller, after not finding any for months...I find three in two weeks...Does this happen to you?
This was quite a motley crew
I let them speak to me....OK, they didn't say a word lol. I looked at their style and and then picked the fabric
This little beauty had straight legs so....
....it got the most contemporary fabric...Don't you love this blue?
It's almost a hip fabric and I am on a desperate quest to be hip and cool instead of always frilly and pink!

There you have it...Nothing earth shattering, just some stools
Wouldn't want you to think I've just been sitting around...lol!

Happy Creating

Three winners! Can't do any better than that.♥♫
ReplyDeleteLove that green flowered print! It's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love the one with the pink toile, Carol. Yes, isn't that always the way. It's either nothing or a bunch. The one I did that I told you was similar to the last one you did, sold a few weeks ago.
ReplyDeleteAll of them are just beautiful! I like them all! I will say, I sure like the pink toile, but the green floral one, is my favorite! You are one creative and busy lady!
ReplyDeleteHave a great evening!

Hi Carol, that's what I call a successful facelift, LOL.
ReplyDeleteEverything you touch is prettier when you do your thing to it.
That magic "Carol" touch :)
Have a wonderful week.
Your blogging sister, Connie :)
Hi Carol,
ReplyDeleteThese little stools are so pretty!
I wish I could get lucky enough to find one, let alone three!! Great find and redo.

They all are very pretty but I think I'm partial to the one with the contemporary fabric. I just bought some fabric today to redo an office chair and I purposely went contemporary too. I tend to always go for neutrals and I want to get out of my neutral funk!
ReplyDeleteYou are going to have quite the inventory ready when the Polka Dot Flea rolls around!!
Jane
Your stools turned out beautifully, Carol! My favorite is the toile, love it! They will be a huge hit at the flea. Gee, I wonder what you have been doing with all of your free time?:)
ReplyDeleteCarol, as always, you've keep me giggling with your writing and amazed at your talent to take even an ordinary stool and make it special!
ReplyDeleteBTW--- I'm rather jealous of my sister getting to meet you and have lunch ?. I hope you both have lots of fun. I can't wait to hear all about it.

I love the fabric with the roses and the bee. Do you know who the manufacturer is?
ReplyDeleteAll three stools are beautiful! I always love the fabrics you choose.
wow, so cute!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful rescues, every one!!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for youuuuu! Really! They're all cute but I love the middle one, it's got that "something special" going on!
ReplyDeleteKathleen
Love them all, Carol! I love remaking benches and stools...so much fun! Love your fabrics.
ReplyDeleteThe hip quest continues!
ReplyDelete;)
Nice job and good to see a post from you, Carol. ♥
I have a stool exactly like the first one. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteYour stools look great! You picked the perfect fabrics--I love the green floral--but then I love the toile too and the blue was perfect for the more contemporary one. Good job!
ReplyDeleteTrust you! And Love your vision and creative drive.
ReplyDeleteI love that pink fabric with the angels on it? Where did you find it? Any chance I could buy some online and have them sent it for me overseas? I really love it!
So THAT stool is all winning for me!!!
The rest, well, you do wonders pretty girl!
From Drab to... a Carol's ;).
I'm in Awe. Delighted. Humbled.
Yours,
Teresa
Love what you did to all of them, but my fave is frilly and pink!
ReplyDeleteDeb
They look fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteYou worked your magic on those stools, gal!! Can't wait to see everything in your booth at the Polka Dot Flea!!! It will be here before we know it!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Becky
Hi Carol, Three awesome stools made fabulous with your magic touch. I love the blue and white too. These won't last long at the Polka Dot Flea!! It's won't be long. Have fun!!
ReplyDeleteHugs
Great stool Carol. I LOVE the toile stool!!! These all are going to sell very quickly.
ReplyDeleteCynthia
If anyone can be frilly and pink and hip and cool, all at the same time, it's you. The stools are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteYou do such nice work! I especially love the green fabric...is it a new fabric that I could purchase somewhere? I would love to make a pillow with it for my craft room.
ReplyDeleteLove each stool, but my favorite is the blue/white. I have valances in that fabric. My room is soft shabby, and this pattern is perfect. And, of course, the stool would be right at home in my bedroom.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
A job well done! Well, actually three jobs well done. My favorite is the one with the back.
ReplyDeleteAll three are just gorgeous!!! You "covered" their "personalities" just right*** Yes, that happened to me today, been looking for a certain bowl for a salad sent for months...found nine, just needed one.
ReplyDeleteI love them all. My favorite stool STYLE is the one with the little back to it. My favorite pattern/fabric is the blue. Not that anyone cares what my favorite is. I just felt like saying it. Ha!
ReplyDeleteYou have three winners. So pretty....don't have to worry about bringing them back home.
ReplyDeleteLove them all! I think you're pretty hip already! Mimi
ReplyDeleteAll 3 turned out so pretty.
ReplyDeleteAll 3 are lovely, but I do love the pink roses.
ReplyDeleteLovely stools. I would have to pick one from each for my favorites. Building inventory is a very good thing dear...
ReplyDeleteI LOVE those stools. I have a fondness for them and have several in my house. I think it is a sickness with me...not quite like collecting fine china, is it? lol
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful weekend- xo Diana
müthiş güzel!!!!
ReplyDeleteThey turned out so sweet! I love that style of benches.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the transformations!
warmly,
deb
Love the changes, including the hip fabric!
ReplyDeleteCarol,
ReplyDeleteI love the stools! And that blue is hip and cool...
Blessings,
Amy Jo
You sitting around! Ha!!!
ReplyDeleteLove all three stools, but I like the hip/cool blue one the best!!!
I am inspired, as usual, to get to work. I'm updating a gun cabinet turned display shelves at the moment. I need to find some cute stools though, I love the fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI love updated benches. They are so fun to transform and they are such a useful thing to have around. All your benches are beautiful. Where are you finding the time for projects? You are one busy lady.
