And maybe you remember my inspiration fabric that I was planning to use?
Imagine the cushions upholstered with this fun, vibrant fabric and the wood painted in that pretty turquoise color. Wouldn't that have been lovely?! Well, there's a whole long, sad story about why I wasn't able to use this fabric. But I won't bore you with that. I just had to wait for inspiration to strike and lead me in another direction. Once it finally did, I wasted no time getting started.
The first thing I did was hose off the chair. Literally. After I removed the cushion I took it out to my lawn and sprayed it real good with the hose. It was GROSS.

I was really inspired by Kristine's chair/stool combo over at another favorite blog, The Painted Hive and thought I'd give it a try. I used some osnaburg fabric (I finally learned the name of that stuff!) that I had on hand, bought some blue fabric paint and darkened it to my liking, then taped and painted stripes to give the fabric the look of a grain sack.

I couldn't just paint them, so they both got some brown glaze as well to bring out all the details.

I think they look cute together, but I'm not sure I'll sell them as a set when they go to the shop. What do you think- together, or separate?

Wow, I love it! You are very talented! You do so much more, than furniture!
Separate ...love them but don't look like should be a pair footstool needs an armchair with it, but I do think the person who buys the chair will also show interest in the stool.
I love the little table.
