Folding Canvas Stool


I found a perfectly humble folding stool.


It was soaking wet when I bought it but I liked that it was canvas and folded.
I was confident of it's potential.


I have an affinity for stools of any sort be they humble or not.



I can always use a perch for my coffee, book, or laptop.


So what did I pay for my humble wet canvas stool?
Fifty cents.
Suffice to say that fits into my budget just fine and
 fits well with the 1960's beach furniture we adore in the living room.





may joy and peace surround you

    I paid double what you did for mine and thought I got a good deal! LOL They are fun- I need to make a new seat from some decorative fabric. I've been using it in the garage and should bring it in. :-)

    What a bargain. We call those campaign or safari stools here. The Army Officers would take them on overseas missions.

    That is such a great style stool too. You could even put different fabric on it if you wanted to with just a staple gun. It looks nice there cozied up to the sofa for holding your extras.

    Olive,
    your little stool is adorable, love it! I have a thing for stools of any kind also, have 2 in my family room and a at least 2 up stairs! Thanks for the info on the scale, meeting a family member, how cool is that! I didn't know anything about them.

    Olive, you seem to have the knack of choosing little bits and pieces which perhaps other people wouldn't notice and then you put them in the right setting and they look gorgeous.
