My sweet little stool

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!
