DIY Furniture Trash To Treasure

Super Easy Upcycled Stool DIY Tutorials

Trash to Treasure: Super Easy Upcycled Stool DIY Tutorials

I like to go through my site every once in a while. After writing over one thousand posts, sometimes you forget what you have already published! Perusing my site, I realized I have published a few trash to treasure upcycled stool DIY posts. So, I thought it be nice to do a quick recap for posts like these that may have gotten lost in the mix!

Check out my trash to treasure guide for why you should buy furniture secondhand. It also includes a list of trash to treasure tips and project ideas.

Kid’s Upholstered Stool

Let’s start with a stool I found at Goodwill for $7.00. I upholstered this one to match a play set I made for my daughter. She actually STILL plays with this piece almost every day! Here is the BEFORE.
