You could use the inside to store stuff too! I love it! My grandma had a footstool that had a hinged lid and she kept toys in it for the little ones.

Sit back and put your feet up --after the glue dries- great job

How clever! And it is really sharp looking too. I really like that and am also very eager to know how you did it.

It looks great. This is a blast from the past. These were very popular Years and years ago.

That is extremely cool! Is it too low though for a foot rest? I should make one of those spackling bucket ones... I'm sure I can find a tutorial or two for those :)

I love the colors you used too... :)

Very nice. I am in the process of making one too but it is taking more than 7 hours! LOL. But I will get it done and will put up pictures--some day when I am finished.

Wow. Impressive!!!!

Looks good!

that is too cool!!!

What a neat and clever idea ! Can you post instructions ?
