Rice Sack Stool

I knew exactly what I wanted to do with this stool when I saw it at an estate sale.



Something simple, comfortable, and monochromatic.

Actually, both the stool, and the rice sack are from the same sale.  The stool was pretty sad, and everyone stepped over it.  Poor thing.




I applied multiple layers of paint, in various shades of grey, followed by a bit of distressing.




The icky fabric was removed, and replaced with fresh padding, and a section of the rice sack.




A forlorn stool, given another chance.
