It's A Garden Party

This month at the CoOp we're having a "garden party".  We've assembled all you'll need for indoor and outdoor home decor accessories.  That's in addition to all the vintage pieces.

This is some of what I'll have.  If you'd like to see the album for the entire store, go here.

Glammed Up Camp Stool

I'm sure you've all come across camp stools in your vintage shopping travels.   I always purchase them and update them with fabric.  I've covered them in a black and white awning stripe fabric as well as in a P. Kaufmann leopard print.  I had a matching pair of these leopard camp stools.  They ended up at the foot of a bed in a girly bedroom.

ONE OF A PAIR OF "LEOPARD" CAMP STOOLS

If you've been following along you know that I'm on a faux fur kick,

 so my next camp stool is very furry and fun. 

FAUX FUR CAMP STOOL

Whenever I re-cover a camp stool, I first remove the original canvas seat and save it for a pattern.  I always line the fabric to give it more strength.   You can see that I used some solid white canvas duck as a liner for the faux fur.

UNDERSIDE WITH COTTON DUCK LINING

I attached the seat to the base using my staple gun.   Since I already had some rhinestone upholstery tacks, I decided to glam up the camp stool even more with the tacks.

RHINESTONE UPHOLSTERY TACKS FOR SOME GLAM.

Keep your eye out for some camp stools.  They're  extra seating, a place to sit and put on your shoes, or add a tray and they become a side table.
