inexpensive x-stool

I got quite a few e-mails enquiring about the stools pictured in decorating your first apartment. 

These were a great deal and simple DIY.  We started by purchasing these stools from Sears. This is the best deal I have found on any sort of x-stool and I have searched far and wide. 

I loved the shape but the cheetah had to go.  We decided to go with this inexpensive trellis fabric that I posted about a while back. All we needed was about a yard and half of fabric, a staple gun and voila! 

Be sure to keep me posted if you try this at home. 

the moroccan pouf

I have to admit I was on the fence about moroccan poufs for a long time. 

This image of Kelly finally made up my mind. I'll take 10 please. 

I've seen some great ones on ebay lately. 

There are bargains on them here too

another reason to love nailhead

I just bought a pair of these darling ottomans for a client. They arrived the other day and they are even better looking in person {and better quality than I expected too}. My client and I died when we saw what a fabulous price they were. I think these are the bargain of the week, I just wish they came in other colors.

This is the fabric on a vintage ottoman I bought a few weeks ago at a local consignment store. The fabric is in perfect condition and I love the print on it. 

I wish great vintage textiles like this were easier, and more affordable to come by.

This vintage vanity stool is so sleek! I love the lines on it. 

And only $40! I'm dizzy!
