I found this material a while ago and have just been waiting for the right project to use it.
Yes – the colours are a bit out there, but I think they are fun, lively and will brighten up a bedroom, giving it a pop of colour.
The old stool definitely needed a makeover.
Now to decided whether to change the colour of the stool to an antique silver black or just leave it. Will have a think, in the mean time I may make some cushions with the grey velvet and stripe.

I think the stool legs and frame should remain as is – they set off the new upholstery well.

Thanks for that – the old gold frame with all it’s scratches, probably just adds to the charm of restoring an old piece with new material.

Gorgeous Lynley and I think black legs will make it even more contemporary.

Always good to get another opinion – thanks, I’ll post what I finally do.
