I feel like every home decor store I browse has their own version, but one thing they seem to have in common is a pretty high price tag. I’ve thought I found a good one only to find their price to be several hundred or even over a thousand dollars (!!!!). Yeaaaaah, that’s not really the budget I had in mind. I like to keep mid-height stools by the window at our house so the kitties can use them to look out the window (a.k.a “cat tv”), and I thought one of those furry stools would be just the ticket to fit in with the rest of the decor. Turns out, it only took me a few minutes (and way less money) to create a stool that looks just as great as its expensive competitors!

I then gave my legs a quick coat of gold spray paint to make them look a little more expensive. Then screwed them into the angled plates.

You can check your local fabric store for furry material options, or home stores like Marshalls and T.J.Maxx will often have faux and real sheepskins as well.

Flip that stool right side up, and that’s it! You’re already done!

Click through for tutorial It’s kind of crazy how easy it was to create this stool because it turned out so cute! If you want a thicker looking seat, you can also add a few layers of foam cut to size between the top of the seat and the material, but I like how the height of mine came out. It’s crazy to think that I could have paid several hundred more dollars to get the same feel, but if you ask me, I think it looks like a million bucks! xo. Laura
