Retro Kitchen Step Stool

I picked this up from my amazing upholsterer this week and have just put the finishing touches to it today...final clean and fresh new feet.  Here is what it looked like a couple of weeks ago:

And here it is now, after a fair amount of elbow grease, a good clean, some new upholstery and padding, and new feet:

Much better!  I think this wee cutie has a buyer already, but I am happy to take orders if you are interested.  Email me karen@restyledvintage.co.nz for more info.
