Thrift store score!
Today was a good day of thrifting for me. You know why, because I did not even plan it.
Went to lunch with friend and then I decided to go to our local thrift store that supports the humane society. Love that place!
So I spied this little wood stool, and it was the perfect size.
You see we have been fighting over the computer lately in our home. Not exactly fighting, because poor Mike has not much say, I just kinda take it over.
Finally we broke down and bought a new home computer and Mike can have the laptop.
(this is just a cute little card Mike gave me some time back, I just smile every day I look at it!)
SO I thought I would make a little space just for Mike to putz on the computer when he wants to download his music. I wanted a simple stool, low enough, and now I have to find a little table for him.

| The before, rustic looking and all in great shape |
 |
| Mike truly is No. 1 so I had to let him know it! |
 |
| I painted it with some left over Duck eggs blue CHALK paint. |
 |
| More fresh flowers, they look lovely in our romantic bedroom |
 | |
| I lightly distressed it to have the original color show through. Now all I need to do is find Mike a cool little table for the laptop and he is good to go! Simple guy for sure! |

Cute little stool Debbie! You're so sweet to do that:) Kyran has a really ugly pillow on his recliner that I'm trying to figure out how to get rid of...now I feel guilty.

Hi Debbie, I'm stopping by via Courtney's blog, to say I love your stools!
I'm getting ready to add some vintage charm to two I also found at a thrift shop. I love the numbers you added, entirely charming. Hope you'll stop by for my giveaway, xxx tami
Great stool! I love the color and the number 1 on there.
Nice to meet you.
Great little find! I like the look of the chalk paint, and the #1 is a nice touch. ;-)

What a cute stool. I have yet to dabble in chalk paint. Love that he is No 1 (or at least you let him think he is!;>) xxoo Diana
Nice thrift find Debbie! I love the color it is now and the stencil is perfect! Thanks for joining TTF. I hope you have a great weekend!
Where can I get some "CHALK PAINT"?,I've got to have some,love this look.
Debbie I was thinking(scary),can I paint over an oak night stand with this chalk paint and distress enough for the oak to revealed?And do you think that this would look okay or kinda goofy?I been wanting to do something to and old solid oak night-stand!!
Just wondering!

Love it! Such fun....the thrifing..isn't it!
So cute! I remember when he gave you that card. Hmm...blog stalk much? lol. Stay safe in this insane weather!
Great color, Debbie! It's not far off the Martha Stewart Milk Pail color I love and have in my master. I used it on a project recently though and love the way it turned out.
Hey - that's great!!! ;)
Debbie , that is awesome!!! You are such a good wife! Have fun at your Royal Party tonight. I would be having one, but we have a neighborhood birthday party tomorrow so everyone is gearing up for that. They didn't even get up for the wedding! Shameful!!!! :-) Have a great weekend!
Perfect find and so cute that you put #1 on it for your hubby! :-) Thanks for sharing it with us at Inspiration Friday!

Love what you did with the stool. I'm sure he feels loved.
Have a great week-end, Annette
Great find and makeover. I'm sure your hubby loves it. When I saw the towel with rooster, you made me remember that I need to paint my stools that look just like yours with that rooster pattern. Stop in often and take a look. I'm sure I should have it up by this Spring/Summer Season.
Hi Debbie!
This is a very cute stool and looks so cool in your kitchen. I love the # 1 logo you put on it!
I am now following you everywhere that I see possible here!
Like that? Maybe you'll link up with my new Super STALKER Sunday and you can do the same with others and vice versa? I can't wait! I think this Blog Hop will be HUGE!
I also should mention that I have a FANTASTIC Blog Hop Directory that has at least a dozen blogs listed for every day of the week. No kidding! Come and check it out! : )
The baby was crying and I forgot to add that I just added your button to my directory too. :D
What a sweet little stool and though Debbie! I love the 'no.1' addition and the color- that milk paint is just beautiful~bet he love's it!! Thanks so much for sharing at my party :)
Brilliant idea to use chalk paint - instant character! So sweet that you made him his own spot (mine just has to clear away the junk and plop down where-ever he can, poor thing)
This is so cute, Debbie! I love how you put No.1 on for him! My husband had to go out and get his own, too!
Love this stool! and the No. 1 is precious!
Well done and what a great find too. Hugs
P.S. love the color I have a can of a similar color waiting for my next project :-)
tHANKS SO MUCH FOR ENTERING THE CONTEST! i LOVE THIS!!!
