Do you remember this stool from my giveaway a month or so ago?
Well, it was won by Valarie Lea from Tennessee. The deal was that I would rehab it specifically for whomever won my giveaway. And I did!
Valarie told me that it would be used as extra seating in her family room and that she had a lot of brown leather and black wood in the room. I have those same colors in my family room so I decided to make her something that I would like and hope that she would like it too.
I think she did. This was her comment on Twitter last night "Just got home!!! Opened my package from Kimba!!! All I have to say is I Looooovvvvvveeeeeee IT!! It is TOTALLY AWESOME!!! HAPPY DANCE!!!!"
Whew! She took even better pictures of it and posted them on her blog. Love her!
Make sure you check out my bracelet giveaway going on right now! And stop back tomorrow when I'll announce the winner and start another contest! More awesome free stuff!
And Nester has a Mr. Linky party going on for classy, crafty moms to link up with their online shops.

Ok, and if your traffic from the Nester and your own divine self isn't enough....you are now a SITS girl today. You go, girlfriend, and I gushed on you yesterday. Didn't know if you had time to read it. :)
Love the fabric with the black paint. It looks awesome!
It turned out beautiful (as expected).
I'm sure she loves it - who wouldn't?
I'd be doing a happy dance, too! The stool turned out beautifully!!
Oh Kimba, I'm so proud for Valarie getting the great stool. A little jealous, but I'll get over it! lol
You're a great redoing, honey! Is there anything you can't do?
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
That is beautiful! I would've never guessed that's what it looked like before if there wasn't pictures! I'm new to SITS and saw them recommend you, so I'm stopping by to say Hello!
That looks fantastic! You are SO sweet to do that!
Wow! I can't believe that's the same stool! Amazing job, Kimba. I admit I would not have seen that much potential in it. :-)
This turned out freakin fabulous!
Absolutely love the stool and the fabric choice. Jackie
GORGEOUS...there was no way she would not love it!!!! I would have totally been doing a happy dance if I had won that!!!!!
I love everything about it!! You are so talented! You're actually quite inspirational. I was never crafty until I started reading your blog, seriously, I had no desire. You make it fun! Thanks!
That is adorable, I can see why she is happy!
Wow, great makeover! I love the colors you chose. She is lucky lady!! Thanks for sharing:)
That stool is gorgeous!
This is a wonderful makeover!
omg that stool is AWESOME!!! I love the fabric and the paint together. Any chance you can post directions on how to recover chair cushion like that? I have dining room chairs with fabric on them and my kids have totally ruined them. They definitely need to be redone but I have no clue where to even begin! Thanks!
Amazing and just beautiful! I'm glad to see that she likes it too.
Okay, I've got to figure out what this twitter thing so many people mention. I hate being in the dark. LOL.
I'm having a give-away and all you have to do is leave a comment on my blog (under the give-away post) if you're interested.
It looks WONDERFUL Kimba! Great job! xo Vanessa
Beautiful! I love how you can completely change the look of a room or a piece of furniture with a new coat of paint. Gorgeous!!
Wow that is fantastic! I can't believe the difference it made...so classy.
