Broken Footstools

Day 69: Broken Footstools

Collapsing in on themselves

Beautiful sturdy design,
sitting empty in a corner

This was a home run stuff project day. I replaced a couple of broken but highly useful footstools with a beloved but useless pine trunk, which I purchased at a sidewalk sale on Oak Street in San Francisco. (A sidewalk sale in San Francisco is what we Ann Arborites call a yard sale, because most people in San Francisco don't have yards.)

The footstools are cheap covered cardboard, and have been gradually collapsing for years. I had to use extra torque to get the top off the most broken of the two. The cushions from the footstools fit the top of the trunk perfectly. Now I have no more broken junk, and a beloved and useful footstool with storage.

Woo hoo! It's all worth it.
