How to Make a Little Step Stool
Then we made a very cool headboard...
Next came a chalkboard made from the leftover panel and molding that was cut off during construction of the headboard.
And there is still one piece left.
And today I used it.
I couldn't reach something in my closet and I needed a step stool.
So... I built one.
I cut the leftover pieces of the door to a good size and started screwing them together.
I gave the stool a good sanding and coat of vinegar/steel wool stain to even out the color on the cut sides of the wood.
Next this very heavy duty little stool got a metal number.
and a coat of furniture wax.
This cute little rustic stool is the perfect size for a step up in my closet while not taking up too much room and because it was made from a 200 lb. mahogany door it is solid as a rock!
Money saved, landfill saved, and clothes within reach!
You are like me and can't get rid of anything ;) very cute stool!
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe that cute little step stool started as a scrap! You are SO creative!!
ReplyDeleteSusan that amazes me what you can do with a scrap piece of wood! It looks great and I love the metal "3", it finishes it off just perfectly!
ReplyDeleteNice. What talent you have. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day.

I do love how you use every inch of a piece and make it into something! Nothing wasted! I have a leftover piece that I was eyeing tonight - it needs to be made into a sign. . . maybe I'll get on that tomorrow!

very cool susan! I have a short stool like this. I'm just about 5 inches too short to reach everything. I actually have two, one in the kitchen and one in the bedroom...very handy.
ReplyDeleteyou did a fabulous job!
