This little bamboo footstool had a ratty cover on it, so I cut out this new cover from an old threadbare Persian rug that someone was tossing out. The rug is nailed to the stool stand with brass plated upholstery nails and I put a thin piece of rubber foam underneath it. Got the idea from my friend Louis Frazier, who covered a homemade stool this way.

I lived in Marin County for a while and they had the best thrift stores and dumpsters! It is amazing what people throw away. Plus I have no shame….lol
I love rugs from that area and also from the Caucus area. That is a real find and you did good with it.
