My Stools Are Attractive

I hate the word stools.  

I hated how our kitchen stools looked aaalmost as much as the word. 

Like, really, who first created the word stools to refer to poop?

Can medical professionals just accept the word poop and we can all stop saying stools? 

Which reminds me of this one time Mr. D and I took Fenway to the vet for having really soft poop, and Mr. D kept saying "stools," and I totally pulled a Kate Gosselin and was like, "CAN YOU JUST CALL IT POOP?!" with some attitude? 

Yeah. 

Anyway, here are my stools.  They started out quite... poopy.

(I removed the cushion of the first stool before I realized I should take pictures.  It was sit-on-able before this photo.)

Made of plastic that looks like oak wood.

Cushions were stained from me placing snow-covered boots on them, and look just like someone wet themselves whilst sitting upon them.

Even without the embarrassing-looking stains, they were just kind of boring.

So I got out the spray paint-- surprise!

And some upholstery fabric marked down from $17/yd to $4/yd.
What a bargain!

(Hobby Lobby, I'd have your babies, but I know you're too Christian for all that.)

And my new most favoritest toy, the staple gun.

And voila.

I acknowledge that this fabric in no way goes with my kitchen wall color.  That's cool though, because I'll (or more realistically, Mr. D will) be painting the kitchen a more golden yellow to replace the pastel lemon that's currently up.

I also acknowledge that I might have preferred the oil-rubbed bronze spray paint over the glossy black.  That's an easy enough fix for a rainy day.

I also also acknowledge that my floor is covered in dog hair and yes, there's a fake cabinet door missing from my island.  Stop judging me.

At least my stools are attractive.

There have been some other homey-type changes going on, like repainting the bedroom because I'm fickle about paint colors.  I've also been throwing fake pumpkins all over the place because it's fall decoration time.  I should post about these things soon, so check back.
