I will say this though. Cody's off to Sweden for a week and the heat wave has made me and the dogs miserable. Today I was finally able to un-stick myself from the leather couch or my other favourite place during this heat, the basement floor.
I got this step stool last week and decided today I'd get down to re-upholstering it. The vinyl was repulsive looking and I had some bark cloth-type material lying around. The chrome was rusty and the steps were missing the rubber that was once glued on. I neglected to take a photo of the chair before I started the project, believe me when I say it was worthy of the dumpster bin but here's the nasty vinyl:
And here's a close up of the chrome and steps. I had already removed the remaining rubber and sanded the first step. This should give you an idea of what I was working with.
As I took off the old vinyl I was ecstatic to find that they had upholstered OVER the EXISTING vinyl!! How lucky am I?? Well, that made my job a helluva lot easier. I scrubbed the dirt out and reassembled the chair. The grey vinyl will have to be replaced as it's faded and there's a small hole but it'll do for now. Lookie:
