Free Step Stool!

I am involved in a parent group in Humboldt County called North Coast Parents. We recently had a rummage sale and I received this step stool for free. I immediately saw it's potential and the height was perfect for helping my kids reach the bathroom sink to brush their teeth and wash their hands...on their own! It was pretty dirty and covered in stickers (as you can see). I didn't think to take a picture until I had started removing them, but I think you can get the idea.

I walk a fine line between being crafty and being cheap, so I only wanted to use what I had on hand. After getting all the stickers (and their goop) off, I primed it and painted it with the white paint that covers most of the walls in our house. Then I painted the accents with the same color as our living room walls.



Completely free and (now) a totally cute addition to our bathroom!
