Evolution of Furniture

I am a firm believer that as your fashion changes (God willing… side eye at Mom Jeans) your home decor style changes as well… I mean, why not? If you just missed that ladies, I gave you a justification to buy that new stuff at Target… you are welcome.

Speaking of Target, let us take a little trip on the evolution of furniture… or more specifically, a Target stool.

I bought this little foot stool on clearance about three years ago for $15! I loved it so much and still do, but with the addition of a new rug in the family room, the reds were a bit too much together.

Through the holidays, you saw that I threw an Ikea faux fur on top of it, which I loved because it added texture and a brighter pop against the rug. So when the fur had to go bye bye, I took a little trip to Hobby Lobby to get some inspiration and a fun trim (also called ric-rac) caught my eye and after a few laps around the fabric, I found what I was looking for!

Your style? Maybe it was the first one all the way- and frankly- I still really loved it that way, but it wasn’t going to work and I for sure didn’t want to get rid of it.

The process was so simple. 4 Steps!

1. Place your fabric over the stool (if there is a pattern you may want to adjust where it falls)

2. Staple one middle staple on each side, pulling your fabric taught as you do. This will then allow you to work your way around stapling the rest

3. Cut off excess fabric

4. Hot glue your trim right over the staple line

It really is so simple! Especially when working with a small piece of furniture. I am in love with how it completely changed the piece and now it stands our from the rug and brings a new fun pattern into the room- not to mention the texture of the trim… I am mildly obsessed with it.
