Antique...

My arse! Although that's actually vintage.

I bought this little footstool for a tenner about ten years ago. It had a green velvet cover and I decided to cover it with silver velvet and a botch job with my Dad's staple gun.

I decided I'd have a faff with it in the holidays and I crashed the workshop with the girls busy working and took it apart and recovered it. Imagine my surprise when I find it's not actually any sort of antique at all. Still... it looks way better now.
