A table? Nah, it's a vanity stool!

Hey lovelies!
Seeing as I am in the process of moving house, I thought it was about time to finally start posting some house-y DIY projects. I absolutely cannot wait to get decorating the new place, and I'm finally going to have an office!! Ok, I have to share it with Liam, but we're planning on splitting the room in two so we can have our own style in each space. 
A few months ago I focused my time on transforming an old coffee table into my vanity stool. Whilst my mum had just made a desk for me out of the sides of an old wardrobe. What can I say, we make do with what we've got. 

If you ever want to give this a go yourselves, the steps are super simple!
- Make sure to sand down your table
-Use a paint in your own choice of colour, I used what I had left from painting the desk, and paint a couple of coats until you are happy with the results. 
-You can use either a separate cushion, or you could make your own padded seat. I used the wadding of an old pillow and an old pillow case. I just made sure to nail down the pillow case tightly to make sure the padding didn't slip around underneath. (You could also glue the padding to the top of your newly painted stool as an extra precaution.)

Did any of you guys notice the big cheeseball move I made by painting our initials on the top of the stool? Yeah, so now mine and Liams love will forever be under my toosh. 
Hopefully in the next few weeks, throughout the move, I can post a few more DIY projects to give you guys ideas of how to turn old stuff into new stuff. :)

Hope you are all having a good Tuesday!
