Footstool Project

When I was home this summer I told my mom that I needed a footstool - and she gave me one!  I got some new legs from the home improvement store and stained them and then reupholstered the body.  I think it was OK before, but now it is a better height and goes with our living room so much more nicely.  (Try to ignore the carpet - I'm hoping it will go away one day...)

Footstool

We need a small footstool, and they're surprisingly hard to find.  Everything in stores these days is big and bulky or made for storage.  I found this one on Etsy, and it gave me an idea...  What if they made unfinished footstools?  Apparently they do!  The one on the bottom is sold by DIY Upholstery Supply and is made in Italy.  (The price is not too bad, either.)  I may have a project on my hands...
