It's always good to make something decorative but when it's useful too it's an added bonus. This key hook plaquette has just been given its final touches and it's ready to hang in a nice hallway in someones house. Découpaged lettering, painted key, some gold hooks and chain style braid completed this look.

Stool Story

Bar Stool
It's been a while since I last posted an update on this piece, mid-October to be exact but with all the Christmas prep, and the fact that I was busy with the Christmas craft pieces that I posted during November and December, it just got put aside.
For a reminder of how it looked;

I've progressed a little since the above photos were taken, I stripped off what was left of the old canvas, cleaned the stool up and made a start on the sanding. You can see the difference in colour between the seat frame where I have done some sanding and the legs that haven't been done yet. It's beginning to look a little cleaner!
For a reminder of how it looked;

There's still a fair bit of sanding and finishing to do before I can start the upholstery work but I have my tools and supplies ready and waiting, some of which I already had to hand and the rest I got from the upholstery supplier today. I'm probably going to use the same upholstery fabric that I used to cover the boardroom chair featured on this blog as I have some left over and it's a good quality fabric that was pretty expensive. Have a look by clicking on the 'Upholstery Work' tab at the top of the page. Let me know what you think by leaving a comment - you can do this by clicking 'Comment' at the end of this post.
