Patience

I bought a Paul McCobb stool by Calvin on ebay. For $200.

Then I stashed it in a closet. For 6 years.

Last year I pulled it out and had it reupholstered

with Dedar's cotton/linen/silk charcoal ikat.

Then I started looking for it's twin. They were out there but

they were no longer $200. Not even close. I finally found

one, though...from the adorable Nathan Turner.

Via One King's Lane.

It arrived on a giant truck.

The movers brought it in. White glove. Which was hilarious.

A little more ikat and a little more time and it will look just like this.

And finish this.

Lesson? Patience is a virtue. No, patience is bloody expensive.
