It seems like such an easy thing to do, but I have so many little questions. This is an old piano bench from my Mom's house. I have never done a project like this before and your blog seemed promising as a guide. Please post about it. <br />Thanks,<br />LisaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198394838876044945.post-23179677027345257362011-11-14T11:24:39.937-05:002011-11-14T11:24:39.937-05:00I remembered something just as I read your footsto...I remembered something just as I read your footstool posting. Some years ago we were shopping for new furniture for our living room. Now this is a process that normally takes years, and yes it took about 5. But what I remembered is whilst shopping, I was attracted to a huge brown leather couch....I mean it could easily have sat 4 comfortably....and it was filled with down....it was just an amazingly comfortable feeling....imagine the warmth! Unfortunately, the cost alone of this 1 piece was beyond our pocketbooks...in retrospect, we could've purchased just that 1 piece for the living room...!<br />HeatherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198394838876044945.post-12117552903703544532011-11-13T04:17:30.032-05:002011-11-13T04:17:30.032-05:00That looks like the start of a truly worthwhile pr...That looks like the start of a truly worthwhile project. Footstools are such useful, and in this day and age I think undervalued, things. I'm looking forward to seeing its reincarnation.Felicity from Down Undernoreply@blogger.com
