my kate is two

...happy birthday kate...

old becomes new

...footstool...

i have had the footstool since my 1st apartment, it has been many colors...

the saddest part is i covered it with this hideous fabric...it looks very camo...

so i striped it to the original country blue fabric...

it's new look...red and white polka dot...so happy...

fabric is indoor/outdoor fabric from walmart...20.00 revamp!

...the bar stools...

my friend chris leased office space that used to be a cellular phone co...they left some furniture...chris is not allowed to sell the stuff, but he can give it away...so i got two of these purple bar stools...

i pulled out the staple gun...and recovered!

the new look - moda's red and white fabric...

it's actually christmas fabric, but i just fell in LOVE with it!

i love these so much in our house...modern, simple...perfect!

also...can you tell that i have a thing for red and white polka dot fabric...

thank you chris for the freebie!
