Willow Stool....

     I made it to the antique shop. I bought the willow stool , that I had my eye on before Christmas. It's made by a man here in Indiana. The shop owner could not give me a discount on it. She did deal with  me  on the rocking chair. :):)
  I really like that this stool it  is very sturdy.  One could sit on it, although I planned to use it as a side table to the chair. with a small tray on top. The brick red is an accent color I like.
  It's very lodge looking to me. I would one day like a sun room decorated in that style.  So for now I will have a corner. The chair is still at the shop Ted will have to haul it in the truck. So I'll have to show you that later.  I also wanted Ted to think about making little tables in this same style. Another good thing about this, if I get it all here together and later decide I do not like it....well there's always my daughter and SIL , who seems to have a woodsy look in their family room.
   Wishing all a great day. XO

  4. It is very cabin-like! What a unique style. The material is perfect for the twig/branch construction.

    1. Kathy, I remember a very long time ago when a man with a truck load of willow chairs stopped by our house trying to sell our parents some of his chairs...we could never afford them...but they looked so very nice. I just really liked this little stool. Hope you and Joe are doing well there in all that snow...take care of each other and please be safe. Blessings to you both, xoxo,Susie

    1. Oh you are right. I am hoping I like it with the chair once I get it here and set up like I want. LOL...I thought of it as something so sweet for my porch...but my whole porch is not under roof...and it would get wet and be ruined...so it has to be inside for now. Hope you are not snowed in . Blessings, xoxo,Susie

  8. Oh, I LOVE it!! And I love the cushion too. Looks very western looking to me, like it should be in a lodge in Colorado or something! xx

    1. Kay, I thought it all looked so lodge like when it was in the big display window in town. This little stool and the oak/hickory rocker, a fishing crell with a spring of pine in it , a wool plaid coat draped over the rocker arm and a man's hat like our father wore in the summer (fedora style) I just fell in love with that look. I think it's because I always wanted to stay in a lodge as a kid. :) Blessings, xoxo, Susie

  10. I like it as well. I was not a great day around here. Some snow, not much really, about 6 inches, and the Patriots lost. Then again we are spoiled around here.

  13. The little stool is cute, Susie. It does have a woodsy look to it. It reminds me of my mother-in-law's home in the mountains, which I love to visit. I like the red color in the stool. :)

    Have a sweet afternoon, Susie.

    love, ~Sheri

    1. Hi Susie, My daughter and her husband have gone to a more cabin like style. Probably because the walls in the family room are wood paneling. I have always like that look...and think an enclosed porch would be so cute like that. Right now I just have a spot near the fireplace.:):) Hope you are well, xoxo, Susie

  20. The stool really looks comfy. Sometimes we have to start in a corner with our new style and move on from there.

    1. Linda, It seems I like too many different styles. My house is not a smooth flowing home...I like too many things. I really wanted a sun room in lodge décor. Blessings, xoxo, Susie

  21. Even though I don't have that style in my home I really like it! That is the cutest stool and the fabric is perfect on it. I like that willow style of furniture. I remember years ago wanting some of that willow outdoor furniture. I used to see it for sale, but it was too expensive. Looking forward to seeing your new chair!

  22. It's really a form of folk art, isn't it? So rustic. Like something you'd see in the Andirondacks. Wonderful piece. Hugs, Nancy
