Dear Sofa...

I found this stool at FIND one of my favorite places for used furniture. Usually, second hand shops have a little bit of furniture but mostly clothing. FIND is all furniture and household items. The trick I have discovered with FIND is, if you find something you like buy it! Things (especially the really unique pieces) don't stick around for long. There are a lot of designers going through snagging up the good stuff.

I was drawn to overall charm of this stool. I love the combination of the straw seat with the lathe carved legs (which is somewhat of a past trend). This stool needed a little love, wanted to freshen it up a bit and keep the wood looking soft and like wood. This stool was a lot of fun to work on. It wasn't hard and I kept changing my mind and adding then taking away. But I am happy with the final product and how it turned out. Take a look!
