Zig Zag Footstool

I found a super cute footstool at an estate sale. I paid about $5 for it. It was in great shape, but the tapestry fabric was not my thing.


I reupholstered it with some leftover chevron fabric I had and spray painted the base black. After all that hard work, time to put my feet up!


There's even a little storage inside! What should I put in there?

I'll be linking to these parties this week.

    I love the chevron print on this! I am kind of jealous of the hidden storage too! Visiting from Sew Can Do link party

    Looks great!!! I wish it were mine!! :) I'd stash some cookies & candy in it that I don't want to share with anyone. Ha! Nothing lasts at my house with 3 lil boys & a hungry hubby! I have to have a good hiding spot. Love your blog & I'm a new follower!

    I love it! I have a similar footstool for myself. I plan on using it for storing my sewing paraphenalia. Good job!

    Keep up the good work and be encouraged...
