I just got in late yesterday from a wild weekend in Las Vegas, but I’m here for a quick before and after transformation for your Monday.
Last week, I stopped by my mother-in-law’s house to recover these Pottery Barn ‘Tanner’ stools for her with a really funky and fun pattered faux leather. Her house has a lot of really fun touches, and these stools are no exception. The rest of this room is relatively free of pattern, so the stools make a big statement for being so small.
Also, I get a lot of questions about the upholstery gun I use, and to all of you who have an air compressor, buying an upholstery gun for the compressor is a quick solution and makes projects like this really fast (I did two stools in an hour), but is moderately pricey at around$100. For people who either don’t have a compressor, or for beginners who don’t want the financial investment, I highly recommend this Power Shot Pro for about $20.
Have a GREAT Monday!
P.S. For those of you who were following along on instagram this weekend, I had a fabulous time in Vegas, but could have used a tad more sleep before getting my week started. I suppose I’ll have to catch up this weekend!

Oh my gosh, that stool looks so cool! I’m always afraid to try making changes myself but this made me realize that I can start with small pieces of furniture at first so the mistakes are not so expensive. Have a wonderful week! xx
Neda – Also, I went over the original leather in case one day she wanted to return to it. Keeping the original in some cases helps the stuffings from misshaping., but I wouldn’t keep more than two layers!
That is completely awesome! I love when edgy and traditional collide!
