Huffin the Fumes, Drinkin the Kool Aid
I'm very excited about my $50 eBay stool whose legs, as you can see, match the Bertoia knock off. Transparent chair in front of the picture window, armless sofa and stool across from two armless slipper chairs is going to be the convo area in the radioactive spumoni living room. (Please ignore the coffee tables from a former life, ditto the dirty dog cover on the sofa. There will be a circular taupe rug and much else.)
I am excited about what I'm going to do with the stool.
I'm going to prime it, enamel it white, tape it up, glaze it with taupe, comb it when wet, let it dry, untape, retape the painted bits, glaze and comb the formerly taped bits, to achieve a herringbone pattern. I love me some Martha.

Here's where to get the comb.

Ditto the acrylic glazing liquid to mix with your paint.

The seat shall be reupholstered either in Tibetan lamb or a very textural bathmat that's on order, winging its way in this direction.
I'm leaning toward the bathmat cause it's washable, vegan, costs one-third the price of the lamb, and reminds me of the immortal wiener bench. Yay.
