Bar Stool Makeover

I found this bar stool at the DI for $3! My wonderful hubby sanded it down (since it was WAY too cold outside for me).





After it was all sanded, I unscrewed the top because I wanted to make it into a cushion.





I took some brown paint...



And painted it!!



I just used pillow stuffing, wrapped some fabric around it- and nailed some furniture tacks into the bottom of the seat! It doesn't matter how messy it looks, because you won't see it.



Here is what it looked like after I re-attached the seat top.



I decided to sand down the legs a little to look more shabby chic.




The final product:
