How To Make A Wood Stool
I found this super cute red stool on Etsy and pinned it to my Mountain Cottage board on Pinterest. The stool isn't available anymore, but I showed it to Mr. DIY with a big hint that I would love one.

He said he had some left over pieces of 1 x 10's and after consulting with me about the measurements he cut out the pieces. Isn't he wonderful?
His large Kreg Jig was at the Mountain Cottage, so he made a trip to Lowe's and bought a mini Kreg Jig Pocket hole kit. Making pocket holes is a great way to hide screws so they aren't visible on top of the stool, plus they make it really sturdy.
The pieces are put together this way: Attach one skirt to the top attach both legs to the top and skirt attach the last skirt attach the stretcher
The measurements of the top: 9 1/4" x 14" skirts: 2" x 14" legs: 6 5/8" tall x 7 3/4" wide stretcher: 2 3/8" x 8 1/2" notch in leg: 3" tall by 4" wide
When our daughter saw the stool all put together she thought it was so cute that she asked her dad to make one. :)
I think I will give this stool to our daughter to paint and have Mr. DIY make me one with slightly different measurements.
Now, what color should our daughter paint it? This stool will be going in her bedroom. You can see her bedroom HERE. The next stool will be for the upstairs bathroom at the mountain cottage.
Hope you are having a fun weekend. Pam
