I did not take before pictures...they were too embarrassing. The fabric was dirty white,stained..Blech! However the construction of these stools is very sturdy. We got them at a rehab place a few months ago. So yesterday hub and I tripped to Wally works...and I bought a 10 dollar curtain. We have never recovered anything before,so I did not want to spend much until I knew we could make it look serviceable and decent. They are not perfect ...but who is? Ha. We use them in front of our recliners for footstools,more comfy than the recliners themselves. Hubs cut the legs down on mine because I am shorter! I also can use them as extra seating...or,I put trays down and use them as coffee tables or end tables! I am really pleased with the multi uses. They look so much better..for a pittance!

    I think you did a great job. How you got hubby to help should be shared with the rest of us. LOL Can you tell me where you bought carpet in photo?

      Thank you...strange,now I am looking at them again,thinking...I can recover these again with a fabric I really love....now that I know how! Or sort of know how! Ha! But I don't think hubs will buy into it again so soon. I will have to wait until he spills something on it! Ha!
