Craigslist & Kijiji: Ottomans, foot stools, benches

Here are just a few stools and benches that caught my eye on Craigslist and Kijiji this week.

Foot stool $45

Antique bench $75

Needlepoint foot stool $150

The Updates...

As you can tell from my previous post I've added a few things to the dining room...a new round beveled edge mirror to balance out the large rectangular sideboard. I thought that a darker colour for the mirror was a good idea since the sideboard is an ivory light colour;this helps create that great contrast that designer's always preach about.

I also added in these great Asian inspired rattan Chippendale arm chairs. They were a great find on Kijiji, and with a new coat of spray paint and some lovely new fabric...voila, instant shabby chic!

Look what I found...

I had been searching for months for the Asian Chippendale chairs, I didn't even know where exactly I was going to use them if I found them, but I knew I just had to have them. One late night like usual I was on Kijiji and I found them! I have a lot of work to do on them still, but here is just the before pictures. I hope to post some afters as soon as I get a chance to work on them. Can't wait!
