My parents had this adorable, vintage, heart shaped stool when I was a kid. I remember it being in the garage. I just acquired it from my dad and decided it needed to come live in my house. I took it apart and started sanding it and then was able to prime and paint it. I'm really happy with how it turned out. I left the original rubber feet on the legs. They add charm to it I think.

I just love her!
A gem! A perfect gem! Great job!

It looks great and how great that it stayed in the family and went to someone that would appreciate it so much.
