Counter stool hack

What happens when you take a garden variety Craigslist counter stool, disassemble it, and give it a sleek new identity? Take a look.

Take away everything but the three-button seat, add some hairpin legs, and here's what you get...a streamlined little bench with far more personality.

    Oh my word, how cool! I love those hairpin legs, they make a huge difference. Love the gorgeous hardwood floors also.
