I also refinished this stool for my classroom. It used to be green with various worn out spots showing the wood and a plain caned (shudder...I don't know what it is, but I do not like the looking of caning) seat. A little spray paint, 1/2 inch foam, and my new favorite material (so graphic and lovely) and voila! But it needed something else...jute!
A little jute around the back...I simply used tacky glue to glue the end to an inconspicuous spot and very tightly wound the jute around ending with another spot of glue. I think the jute gives a nice natural accent to all that white and blue sophistication (if that is possible with a stool).
I also found a chair I am probably going to attempt to reupholster (first-timer...eek!) and a tray to revamp for our new sunroom, which in its unfinished state is a big painting studio. I'm also trying to find some glass candlesticks (cheap!) to make some faux apothecary jars (to go with the $5 one I scored at a flea market). More on that soon.
