A <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088794/quotes">classic movie line</a> to start the day.<br /><br />I've had a few people email asking about the stool underneath <a href="http://thelittleblackdoor.blogspot.com/2012/05/now-i-can-lay-down-bedroom-reveal.html">my bedside table</a>. And I realized in my 'get this damn room done already' hysteria, I forget to mention the little nugget.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3nuJGla3GGAdNo8fSWXuwv1DSqR2B2mNyMxpYfE_FzQ9wEXiAO9gZpy8czX2aonplTft54g7mVhRMLDgENWSVq0wrjkDSKhcL8qiaS0e3qpVgvqKvJK18z2QsSbpB4xqUlP2omDCmrRVA/s1600/LBDMasterBedsideTable.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3nuJGla3GGAdNo8fSWXuwv1DSqR2B2mNyMxpYfE_FzQ9wEXiAO9gZpy8czX2aonplTft54g7mVhRMLDgENWSVq0wrjkDSKhcL8qiaS0e3qpVgvqKvJK18z2QsSbpB4xqUlP2omDCmrRVA/s640/LBDMasterBedsideTable.png" width="640" /></a></div><br />There is an annual rummage sale at a local high school that a dear friend and I look forward to every spring. It starts early, the lines are crazy and the people watching is out of this world. It is Filene's Basement level hysteria in there and we love it.<br /><br />This year though the sale was a bit of a bust. We found a few things that were OK but nothing we thought was worth taking home. But, as we were walking out the door I spotted this sad little stool out of the corner of my eye. You know my affection for sad little things.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAu21101BB32EllLsS_6upVedkn-KwScqNLg3I2kr5eijoHSKaOjoUGNeMYb5aVT-kcSd17Yr1NA5vVyLOgbPbyZm7ZivrgCkHdpR7uKK5a0HZnf0nROBbS38QGadifD1SlnYtYxODMhD-/s1600/LBDJBStoolBefore.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAu21101BB32EllLsS_6upVedkn-KwScqNLg3I2kr5eijoHSKaOjoUGNeMYb5aVT-kcSd17Yr1NA5vVyLOgbPbyZm7ZivrgCkHdpR7uKK5a0HZnf0nROBbS38QGadifD1SlnYtYxODMhD-/s640/LBDJBStoolBefore.jpg" width="568" /></a></div><br />A Thonet Bentwood ottoman as they are known. A beat up imitation, but for two bucks I went with it.  I am a seating addict (stools, benches, chairs, sofas) and I had to get a fix.<br /><br />Unlike a classic Thonet Bentwood ottoman, this stool's cane seat had been replaced with this...carpet. Sorry for the fuzzy shot but trust me, its ugly. Consider this the soft film treatment, like they put on Barbara Walters to make her look better.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb2AFvPITrzbjuaOH_f6zL2qSSewTXXdoGrLTsKDTzVF1YujAe3RlGg_o3vShc8MNtSxSrlFrf_lw1g-HzSEBhnE1rVBVisABY3EXQI-BRaDoi0YcbnCUO5_dmhZ9uyeO-Z966qoPRpCB2/s1600/LBDJBTopBefore.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="608" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb2AFvPITrzbjuaOH_f6zL2qSSewTXXdoGrLTsKDTzVF1YujAe3RlGg_o3vShc8MNtSxSrlFrf_lw1g-HzSEBhnE1rVBVisABY3EXQI-BRaDoi0YcbnCUO5_dmhZ9uyeO-Z966qoPRpCB2/s640/LBDJBTopBefore.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />I wanted a pop of something other than blue in the bedroom so I sprayed the chair with left over paint I had from <a href="http://thelittleblackdoor.blogspot.com/2012/05/color-my-world-inpiration.html">the girls room</a>. Still loving that color. <br />As for the seat, the carpet (and I'm not joking, it is carpet) was glued on there, so there was no taking that stuff off. Instead I used spray adhesive to cover it with a $2 outdoor fabric remnant and some black trim I had gotten awhile back from JoAnn's.<br />And with that, all done. I so love a fast DIY. It satisfies my impatient nature perfectly.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi59dbdsT4ocXo6XT4vuU3G5BP1rssKQXFAPB_1J55SJFDinC4g9dJxvLYyBHaNoBC6Ao6L8m6X6gNgoWPm4xpXn1fSXRCdNZHcBNtfmIHzgyZZg9s5n65-2kZw-fa2d1uaDZwBcUro0jVw/s1600/LBDJBStoolTopAfter.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="568" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi59dbdsT4ocXo6XT4vuU3G5BP1rssKQXFAPB_1J55SJFDinC4g9dJxvLYyBHaNoBC6Ao6L8m6X6gNgoWPm4xpXn1fSXRCdNZHcBNtfmIHzgyZZg9s5n65-2kZw-fa2d1uaDZwBcUro0jVw/s640/LBDJBStoolTopAfter.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVIbinP5tKixyI2Xp-0BlvRKqR2wFtkb_u1Rh13842VJIy-J0n91lN4TQr77k43kYP-9UcDm3UxgFnRQmevfqFA1qgL8bivrpKq3HPwNypgsD2gbub_dRvawTkpyW3Yv3kHtRSvrIqkxZY/s1600/LBDJBStoolTrim.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVIbinP5tKixyI2Xp-0BlvRKqR2wFtkb_u1Rh13842VJIy-J0n91lN4TQr77k43kYP-9UcDm3UxgFnRQmevfqFA1qgL8bivrpKq3HPwNypgsD2gbub_dRvawTkpyW3Yv3kHtRSvrIqkxZY/s640/LBDJBStoolTrim.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimriMac07UN3H3WYlL0QVIaYlMYmy5eyO25aE0smu_Iv-zMF24gg050ShgAY5T0LM9YZAEKToVR0sor1mgvUI6VT0uiBNgT-BdYfkT7iCEKdf1uz0gc7EPUIS9fmJGeDHloKFYN4p61KDV/s1600/LBDJBStoolAfter.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimriMac07UN3H3WYlL0QVIaYlMYmy5eyO25aE0smu_Iv-zMF24gg050ShgAY5T0LM9YZAEKToVR0sor1mgvUI6VT0uiBNgT-BdYfkT7iCEKdf1uz0gc7EPUIS9fmJGeDHloKFYN4p61KDV/s640/LBDJBStoolAfter.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6n_QiMRjF_eV0ZTWUOBS6wyKpNWkQUPNLq-9lkWQCXUtLjQrpCO9OxVKbpqn4kos40sEYHHjeUxyKr05ZpbtTHdrWfq9UYI8o9449i2fv7HMUjtemjjHGYok1WH8G8ZJGBeq-y5lHf321/s1600/LBDJBStoolAfterTop.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6n_QiMRjF_eV0ZTWUOBS6wyKpNWkQUPNLq-9lkWQCXUtLjQrpCO9OxVKbpqn4kos40sEYHHjeUxyKr05ZpbtTHdrWfq9UYI8o9449i2fv7HMUjtemjjHGYok1WH8G8ZJGBeq-y5lHf321/s640/LBDJBStoolAfterTop.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />So there you have it.

I have had ENOUGH of not doing any decent tables so I decided that my FAMILY are the most deserving people of a pretty table and I was going to DO ONE!!!! It is incredibly stressful to have your ENTIRE house "show ready" but that is life here right now.

I love this runner! I used my twiggy chargers that I got at World Market last year when we were in Fl. I SO wish there was a store near me! World Market, are you listening?????? On the charger I placed our grren everyday dishes and a creamy scalloped salad plate. I love these creamy dishes and I got them at Walmart!!!
