It's hard to see cool things in bad shape and have to walk away from them, especially when it's a really good deal that's clearly marked down to be made up in sweat equity. I've been practicing re-upholstering smaller things to someday work up to bigger things. I started with some composite material stools, then a large headboard and this is my most recent practice. I forgot to take a before picture of the stool top. It was in such bad shape, I remembered to document only while taking off the previous material.
