I got quite a few e-mails enquiring about the stools pictured in decorating your first apartment. These were a great deal and simple DIY. We started by purchasing these stools from Sears. This is the best deal I have found on any sort of x-stool and I have searched far and wide.
I loved the shape but the cheetah had to go. We decided to go with this inexpensive trellis fabric that I posted about a while back. All we needed was about a yard and half of fabric, a staple gun and voila!
Be sure to keep me posted if you try this at home.

Ahh! Obsessed! Amazing job, I would love to try this.
ReplyDeleteCaitlin, I'm so glad you posted this source. I've been searching forever for a good, budget x-bench and this fits the bill. Perfect for recovering - thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this Caitlin! Just wanted to chime in that Walmart has a very very similar one, albeit with a black faux leather top...could be left as is {which is what I did for a pair of them in my husbands "man room"} or had a little DIY done to it like you have done here. Either way love the price!

These look amazing! They are a great size for the price.
ReplyDeleteThose stools are a great find - I might even try slipcovering them and using a contrast welt. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLove them!
ReplyDeletegreat tip! been coveting the X-bench but super bummed about the prices at Jonathan Adler, etc.
ReplyDeletethanks for the heads up!
Very very cool. I love those x-benches...not so much with the cheetah fabric but the revamped trellis version is fab!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great DIY!
ReplyDeleteSomehow, I stumbled upon you beautiful blog......AND those benches are an incredible find!!!! Thanks for sharing your great ideas!
ReplyDeleteThose turned out adorable! I know a few people asked about the throw pillow fabric. Curious minds want to know...and are in love with it!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Nevermind...I found it and I can't afford it! Bummer. I'll just drool instead.
ReplyDeleteI'm so getting these for my house.
ReplyDeleteI just ordered these from Sears (Kmart has them too).....going to be recovering them in a gold colored velvet for my bedroom. So excited!
ReplyDeleteI am sooo going to do this!!
ReplyDeleteI just tried this with a similar ottoman. (Not exactly the same) But I was inspired by your post so I tried for myself and I love it. Thanks for the nudge.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find!!! I'm going to try this. Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGot them and leaving them as is until I find a fabric I love since the cheetah
ReplyDeleteFabric does go with my decor.

Excellent information and facts. Only real difficulty I was basically receiving was viewing the pics. No idea exactly why.
