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.




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.

  5. Don't recover the original upholstery on the recent Paul McCobb! OR at least save it!
