A few months back, I won a remnant of Schumacher’s fabulous Chiang Mai Dragon fabric in aquamarine from Mr. Goodwill Hunting {great blog - I’m a fan - you must stop by!}.
This fabric is so beautiful {not to mention pricey}. I was nervous and didn’t want to ruin it. Therefore, it sat idle until I could find the perfect application.
This sweet footstool with brass curved legs was stolen purchased for $2 at a local estate sale last summer. This was it. It needed a new life.
With a pair of scissors and a staple gun, I transformed the once tired footstool. It 's now so Chinoiserie chic. I love it. I hope Mr. Goodwill Hunting approves too. Do you?

That is simply gorgeous! You would pay top dollar for that in a retail store.
ReplyDeleteOh my....yes, I do approve!! So lovely!! Can't believe you got the stool for $2!!
ReplyDeleteWOW! I was waiting to see how you would use it. I wouldve never imagined.
ReplyDeleteGW approves!
Mr. Goodwill Hunting
Stunning! And it only cost you $2.

I'm still soooooo in love with this fabric. Are you going to let anyone actually put their feet on the foot stool? lol! Looks gorgeous, well done. :)

ReplyDeleteSarah Richardson did a bedroom using that as the inspiration fabric on a recent episode of Sarah 101 - Love it!

ReplyDeleteIt looks fantastic! I have about a 2 yard piece of the same fabric sitting waiting for the "perfect" project. I'm with you...it's so expensive I'm terrified to cut into it!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh I LOOOOOVE this!!! Lucky ducky to win such an awesome fabric! I think this footstool is its long lost soulmate! SO CUTE!

ReplyDeleteIt looks fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love the pop of color--you transformed this into a completely different footstool. For more Chinois ideas: http://bit.ly/g7OHK9

ReplyDeleteI can't imagine a better application - well done!
