Free People Vanity Stool
Photo by Free People
Free People, the neo-bohemian sister company of Anthropologie, has such a delightfully spirited, eclectic eye. (Who would think to sew pom-poms around the border of a clutch? But it works!) How stupendous, for instance, is this vanity stool? Homespun yarns are whipped around its legs, while its seat is cushioned and covered with fabric cut from a vintage quilt.
This would make a lovely weekend project for a thrifted find if you have deep reserves of patience to draw upon. And if you don’t have a felonious cat who shreds your furniture and sneaks off balls of yarn when your back is turned. Otherwise, it’s $128, which isn’t altogether absurd considering how much work was involved.

Ohhhhhhh….. I have some vintage fabric, many balls of mis-match yarn, and a bar stool waiting to be adorned. Now to find the time and those deep resverves of patience! I’ll be sure to send photos if I do it.

lol I thought you were going to suggest the stool itself was a cat toy with all those strings hanging off there…

It would make a great stool for distracting cats while I get on with work - stop them trying to type all the time,
