I found a new magazine at the drug store recently. For me a new magazine means shutting out the world and enjoying some quiet time in a comfy chair with my feet up.
When I arrived home I decided to start flipping through the
new magazine. That's the moment it happened ...... I flipped
to the next page and saw some vintage foot stools that I
adored and then the whole plan came into my head how to
make my own. All the wood parts I used had been salvaged
from different furniture pieces. To build the frames I used
thick 1" plywood and vintage tapered legs.

Plywood is strong and thick plywood can take a lot of weight.
My legs were attached either with threaded metal plates
screwed to the plywood ....
or they were bolted through the
plywood making the legs permanent once upholstered.
******************************
I also added decorative pieces between the
permanent legs I bolted in place.

How I upholstered these stools can be read here:
Next time you see a little set of legs at a yard sale
or thrift store think twice before you pass by.
