Hiya gals! I've been a little busy in the real world for the past few days so I'm a little behind on my blogging. I thought I would resurrect another furniture rehab post from when I first started blogging.
And maybe it will be a little inspiration for Valarie who just won my giveaway for a similar stool.
Here's the before:
And the after:

This is so absolutely crazy! I was replying to your e.mail when my computer sorta froze up, and I lost the e.mail I was writing. I had just gotten through typing that I started looking for a stool when I saw this post on your blog! I love this stool! I will e.mail you in the morning, because I just a little tired and about to go to sleep. :)
The colors are so fun in this rehab!
Congrats to Valarie!
Hi Kimba! I remember that stool from when your blog was new! I still love it! All your furniture rehabs are great. Real life has been hectic for me too lately. Hope you can relax this weekend!
Your pumpkins look great! Did you ever see the Monogrammed B O O white pumpkins Shannon over at 'Bless our Nest' did?
I've got all the supplies now, just have to monogram them.

I love that stool! You do make it seem easy enough that I would maybe brave trying it soon.
ah the memories that stool stirred within me... I grew up with same said! It was being used for sewing purposes. I'd strip all the paint, stain it dark if not dark wood already, varnish it, and recover it with real leather. That's my style!
I remember that rehab...it is still ADORABLE. Actually, everything you do is ADORABLE!!!
oooh that is nice! Awesome job!
Black, white & yellow are always good together.
I need to go junking & see what I can come up with.
Have a great weekend.
This stool has been stuck in my head since going back and reading your blog from the begining. The yellow paint with the black and white fabric are simply fabulous together. If you have a second today I'd love for you to check out 1 of the "makeovers" I just finished. Have a great day! ~Blessings~
I'm in love. The yellow with the damask print...too much! Beautiful job.
Our consignments shops really stinkaroo around here, but I have to give them another go...I need a project!!!
Love it! Lucky winner. And I love the pumpkins too!
Yep - remember it well....back then...before you were famous! :)
If real life is crazy...you need my 4 meals in 4 minutes give away that I'm doing.
It's refreshing to know that I'm not the only one who occasionally lets real life get in the way of blogging life. Have a fabulous weekend, Kimba!!!
Hi Kimba!! First of all, I LOVE your site and it rocks!! I found you through my friend Amanda Ritter(My Fragrant Life) I have learned so much just browsing through all your posts. This stool is divine! The lucky gal who won it is going to love it. I have SO many questions for you about little projects I wanna do!! For starters..my youngest daughter Catherine is 6. I am still in the process of re-doing her room.I have it painted a dark kiwi green and her furniture is black.(LOVE this combination of colors)The thing is she had a small vanity with mirror. It is cherry wood. I am DYING to refinish it and paint it black(distressed look_which I dont know how to do!)and do the legs on her little stool/bench black. The cushion on her little bench/stool is a VERY UGLY old fabric. I have fabric in mind but dont know how to put a different fabric over it.The seat is firmly attached to the legs of the stool! I know I could learn a ton from you and would appreciate ANY suggestions! I could post pics of the bench and vanity for you here or on my blog so you could take a look! Soo glad I found you and look forward to all your future projects and posts! ~Alison~(www.sagefamilyfour.blogspot.com)
Oh I love the color!! It's so cherry. What other colors are in the room it will go in?
Love the blog:)
Love that stool...it is so cute! Have a great weekend and we'll see you next week for your rehabs! :)

love it! So I found some of those plastic trick or treat pumpkins for 50 cents while thrifting-I want to spray them a couple of colors-u know instead of bright orange! Crazy I know-
So-do you think I can just get the plastic spray paint and go to town-or do I need to do something to do them first.
I had to ask you cause you are the queen! You should have a shirt that says you are the queen! I have one that says "the princess has spoken" Perfect walmart find!
I can't wait to see more rehabing - you are so inpiring!
It's still cute!!! The colors are great!!!
m ^..^
Hey hope you dont mind but I just tagged your white pumpkins in my blog. Also LOVE LOVE the yellow bench with Black and white fabric- it would soooo go in my laundry room.
Oh, I just love "projects" like this! And it turned out so well, too! You're a talented gal!
Oh my gosh! I love it! I love the choice of colors, and the nicley turned legs.
Two words.
CUTIE.
PA-TOOTIE.

I knew rehab had become popular for a reason! Rehab is awesome and soooo cute!
I'm new to your blog , so is nice to look at old post. Very enjoyable.
Blessings, Virginia
So pretty!
I just got a gossip chair today at a garage sale and can't wait to get going on it!!!

I have a stool exactly like this. I paid $1.00 for it at a yard sale this summer. I've painted it black but haven't recovered it yet. When I do I'll post it.
I love your pumpkin painting idea and that stool turned out great.
Oh btw - Congrats! I have an award for you, please stop by to pick it up!
Have a wonderful day,
Tam
Love the combo of the yellow and black and white on the stool! Too cute!
It turned out so cute!! Great job.
I so love that cute little stool:)
I looked at your other rehab projects and I just love that blue stool! It's such a fun color! Thanks for sharing:)
That is so wonderful! I just love that stool! Maybe I will do something like that with my antique rocking chair that I just found. I posted it on my blog.
This is great! Thanks for the step by step instructions.
Oh my goodness that is so cute! Why can't I find pieces like that and make them into something beautiful?
