Plant Stands to Foot Stools and Deck Cats....Oh My!

This wrought iron plant stand was transformed from this...

....to a kitchy little footstool. 

I found the perfect pillow in my staging stash.  It is vintage velvet and filled with feathers. I loved the look of the distressed iron so I chose not to paint it.  The contrast of the prissy velvet to the clunky iron is a winning combo.  I frequently repurpose items from a seller's house when I am staging. 

This footstool works because:

  1. The pillow is the perfect size.  A different shape or inprecise size would have looked wrong.

  2. The plant stand is the correct dimension for a footstool.  The height works perfectly with the height of a chair.  The circumference is adequate for accommodating feet.

  3. The pillow color complements my deck cat.

 

Yes, my pictures are cropped like crazy.  I'm not ready for show and tell yet.
