    My parents moved to assisted living from their home of over 50 years in December, 2023. They are 95 and 99. A grandson bought the family home and he acquired the family stool. It never had a back like the one you found, but it has the folding steps. If someone in the family hadn’t bought the house, I would have taken the stool for myself. So many memories in one little seat!

I didn't want to scare you I'm terribly sorry I just thought someone would have an answer. Today's Quote: "We shouldn't be afraid to embrace whimsy, that nagging idea that life be magical; it could be special if we were only to take a few risks." -Donald Miller. Huge hugs. Namaste 🐞🐞🐞

    Love your upcycles, all of them, but my heart belongs to the adirondack chair! I salvaged a similar one from my neighbor across the street. When they put it out, I waited until dark to snatch it up b/c I was a little embarrassed, since I didn't know them well. When my house went up for sale & she brought a client through, we laughed about it! My favorite method of distressing is the candlewax---I think it produces the most authentic chippines!
