Hello everyone! I guess this is my first project of the new year and I’m excited to share it with you.
I found this little stool at Value Village for $12.99 and couldn’t pass it up!
I used drop cloth again to cover it and added a little frilly skirt. I think it looks cute.

This is what it looked like before:
Jack was nice enough to let me set it in front of his chair for a pic!
In reality, this little stool belongs to Butters.
The stool is for Butters to use as a little step to get up on the sofa. Sometimes Butters slips on the floors when he trys to jump up on the sofa so he cries for us to lift him up. Now he has the freedom to get up on the sofa all by himself.
Here he is with his blanket and “bear” which he dragged up via the stool.
Everyone needs a stool on the mantel! Lol
As well as a stool on the table!
Thanks for joining me (and my furry little friends) today!
I will be partying with a few of these ladies this week:
Lucky Butters!
Just adorable! Your pups are adorable, too!
Gosh, that turned out cute. I love the ruffled edge. Oh, that cat of yours…he looks so cute, fat and squishy 🙂
Very cool! I like! 😉
Fabulous makeover! I love the ruffle detail! Cute pup!
Cute! I never find anything good at thrift stores or Goodwill, it seems.
So cute! The ruffle gives it shabby personality! Your cat is just beautiful! Hope Butters enjoys his new bed 🙂 xoxo
Adorable! I love the pleats on the skirt!
that is adorable!!! and is that the biggest pine cone ever, or what?
I love it! I am a huge fan of ruffles and it suits this little stool perfectly! Butters is totally cute too 🙂
So very cute! I love the little ruffle and the dark legs peeking out! It's fabulous, pretty and useful! Can't beat that!
Butters is so cute, I had to laugh when I saw the bear – isn't it bigger than Butters'? Must be funny to watch him carry it around the house.
Butters is very lucky the stool is gorgeous.Pop over and visit me and check out my new little puppy..xx
Love the price and you did a great job on the slip!!! The cat and dog are so cute!
What a cute project, and I love the way you slipcovered the stool! Your pets are adorable too. Don't tell Butters, but Jack is one handsome cat! Oh what am I saying? Butters is pretty good looking too, and oh so cute!
This is so darling! Great job! The idea of your little doggie dragging his bear up on the sofa makes me smile 🙂
Cutie!!! Your pets are adorable as well. Would love it if you stopped by my linky party tomorrow! http://www.lovelycraftyhome.com
Love the slipcover, and I love Butters name-so cute!
Love the new look of your stool! The flirty little skirt is the perfect touch!
Just lovely Kimberly. You are very clever and completely inspiring. Good to see more stunning images from that D90. Oh and thanks for following my blog too :)Have a wonderful weekend.
Cutest little slipcovered stool. Now I want one too!
I think I have the matching chair to that ottoman(before you worked your magic;)). Terrific makeover, and yay for Butters!
Too cute! I just found a very similar stool yesterday and love the little pleated frill! Thanks for the inspiration…now I want to go to work on mine!
Love your little stool redo! I have been looking for a large stool like that for my living room, no luck yet, but I'll keep looking! Have a great weekend!

Love it, I wish I knew how to sew so I could do that to my coffee table (;
Great little stool! Jack and Butters are just too cute! I love the look of drop cloths.
That is adorable Kim! What a great find and a beautiful cover. I am so glad butters loves it too and that is a great idea. I have a little weenie dog who tries to jump on the couch and sometimes I worry because of their backs. I might have to try something like this!! I will have to add it to my inspirations from Kim list! 🙂
Have a great weekend!!
Nice makeover. And so thoughtful to give Butters a step-up.
Butters is a lucky & cute little sweetie! Your transformation is 100 times better than the original. I wish I have the talent to make slipcovers like that.
Stopping by from Feathered Nest Friday. Happy weekend!

Darling little slipcovered stool~ I love it! So cute for your wee pup to use too- love the blankie and bear! So sweet! Thanks for sharing at Feathered Nest Friday! 🙂
I'm kicking myself right about now. I had one similar to this and gave it away as I didn't think I'd ever get to recovering it. Yours is a beautiful transition – I wish now that I would have kept mine! -diane
Thank you so much for linking up today! I'm so glad to see drop cloth used in such a chic way. I'm obsessed with the stuff!

Not only did you do a lovely job, the REASON for doing it simply touched me. From one pet lover to another, kudos! I melted when I read Butters brought his own toy and blanket up… ah man!

Don't you just LOVE the economic "value" and unlimited creative possiblities with drop cloth? Your little foot stool turned out perfect! I love visiting you and your sweet pets!

mmmmm – that is just pure yumminess! I'm ALL OVER that ruffle! You have a great ability to see what the item COULD BE rather than what it is at first sight! Great!
