Surfaced amongst many holiday projects this weekend was this gem of a vanity stool.  I’ve had it “on deck” for a while actually.  It simply needed some TLC in the form of upholstery and a proper seat cushion.

The before shot of this stool is kind of comical.  It was topped with a toilet seat cover over part of an egg carton.

Finally, I got down to the bare bones of the seat so I could start from scratch.

That is when I cut out a 1 inch foam cushion and then secured and covered it with batting.

Followed by some sassy leopard fabric.  Much better.

I love a simple vanity stool in a classic leopard.  It doesn’t get anymore feminine.

In fact, I don’t even think this stool needs to be paired with a vanity to be complete.  It would be a great accent in a dressing room or bathroom on it’s own.

This isn’t the first vanity stool I upholstered in leopard…

That stool was upholstered in a bedspread when I found it!  Check out the before and after here.

What is the strangest thing you’ve found when reupholstering a seat?
