This story is pure Kismet.
Here's my story as it happened!
In our new hobby garage, we have an attic storage space above with a drop down ladder.
I was up there selecting furniture to bring down to paint.
As I was stacking things up for Hubby to help carry down, I stacked an old vintage leather suitcase on top of this...
I noticed that the suitcase fit the top of this stool base perfectly. Then as Oprah would say, "I had a lightbulb moment".
Instead of doing the expected and sell the suitcase in my booth and make the wood base back into a functional and cute stool, I decided to make Edgar a bed.
Who is Edgar? He is my grandcat. He lives with my daughter and his name is Edgar Allan Poe!
Basically I just painted the stool with Robin's Egg Blue Chalk Paint by Annie Sloan. Then I screwed the suitcase onto the base.
Then I added a hinge that could lock and unlock so when in use by Edgar, the lid won't close on him.
I purchased a bed pillow and made a coordinating cover from flannel. It's so soft. The added touch is a banner with his name for the lid!
It's just too Cute!
