LOVE THEM!! I don’t comment here often, but I’m a regular reader and these stools are one of my favorite things I’ve seen on here. :)

Jane doesn’t need all the luck in the world with talent like that. Amazing job. I am wondering about the three red stripes, were they added by Jane and how or did the fabric come that way? Great post. If the readers missed her website, take a look….

I’m curious: what fabric is it ? It looks plushy !

So much love put into those stools turning them from something so cold and uninviting to the coziest heartwarming stools I have ever seen! what a touch..of magic!and yes,I agree with the term ‘precious’!

Jane

Thank you all! And thank you Grace for showing my stools! The material is a vintage blanket and the red stripes were already on it.
