I walked into the Christmas Makers Market and the first stall was The Chair Lady - who's based in a village just a couple of miles away, and does all sorts of re-upholstery for people's furniture and also makes cushions and footstools to sell. This was such a perfect match and just what I'd been thinking about getting to stop me sitting with my legs crossed and irritating the damaged knee. The lady selling has the bases made with sturdy castors and then upholsters them herself using material that was once made for Multi-York, who were a local based company until they closed and were taken over and vanished.
Quite unusual for me to spend out without a lot of deliberation but I would never have found such a sturdy, good size, right height stool or a better match anywhere else, probably ever again.
I knew low spend November was a good idea - it meant I didn't have to worry or feel guilty about buying it.
Back Tomorrow

Money well spent. What is more, it looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteit goes well in the room
DeleteFits in perfectly. Picks up the green of the chair plus the grey of the rug.
ReplyDeleteJust have to watch grandchildren bickering over who is going to sit on it
A really good match
DeleteOh that's such a good partner for your chair. Footstools are fantastic, for resting your knee, holding your magazine, or seating the grandchildren. Have you considered spraying it with Scotchguard to protect that lovely fabric from spills?
ReplyDeleteI shall investigate that
DeleteA great find. It looks very nice and comfortable.
ReplyDeleteIt's very handy and looks good
DeleteA wise purchase, and we do get what we pay for, so money well spent, especially for the comfort it brings, and a lovely match too! Enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteand nice to find something local too
DeleteVery stylish and it fits in really well with your chair and curtains.
ReplyDeleteI'm pleased with how it fits in so well
DeleteWow a really perfect match, you were mean't to have it. Regards Sue H
ReplyDeleteThat's what I thought when I saw it!
DeleteLovely material. It is your Christmas present to yourself.
ReplyDeleteGood to find something just right
DeleteMy chair has a stool and I love it, aching legs relax better on a stool.
ReplyDeleteOur stressless chair had a stool but it always tipped up and finally fell to bits!
DeleteSometimes an impulse buy is the best sort and this is one of them.
ReplyDeleteTook me about 10 minutes to decide - very quick for me
DeleteGosh, that match is perfect! You’re never going to regret buying it! Merry Christmas from Dorset Penny Lxx
ReplyDeleteI was pleased to spot something just right from a local person
DeleteThat's lovely. Legs out straight is always better. We use our (very sturdy) coffee table!
ReplyDeleteAlways got told off when pregnant for having crossed legs!
DeleteI love it😊
ReplyDeleteMe too!
DeleteThat is a lovely purchase, as well as keeping your feet up and you nice and comfy, it will be a perching place for the grandchildren and, with a tray on top, a very useful coffee table.
ReplyDeleteDon't think I dare use it as a tray coffee table- I did think about it but decided to carry on putting my coffee on the windowsill out of the way.
DeletePerfect in every way!
ReplyDeleteI was so surprised to find the perfect colours
DeleteThat stool is really pretty and it's perfect with your chair. A wonderful find. A holiday gift to yourself, perhaps! You deserve it!
ReplyDeleteA real Christmas present to myself - should last me years
DeleteOh, that's terrific, Sue. Lucky find!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly was
DeleteAmazingly good match.
ReplyDeleteIt's perfect in many ways
DeleteLovely footstool, wouldn't stop me from crossing my legs though 😳
ReplyDeleteThat’s really lovely!
ReplyDeleteIt is a very nice match. I think that you simply need to say, "Merry Christmas to me and that takes away all guilt.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find! The colours are perfect and the design isn't going to clash with anything . Well done You! And you supported "local" too. Scotchguard is a good idea, it really does make stains sit on the top. And if you do it yourself, you can repeat it until the can runs out.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a great match. I do like a footstool when I sit it is better for the legs.
ReplyDeleteCathy
It looks really lovely.
ReplyDeleteA decorator couldn't have come up with a better choice. You did well.
