Hi everyone! Isn't this the cutest ruffled stool cover you've ever seen? Since we put in a new kitchen sink and faucet, I decided to do a few more kitchen updates. One of them was to have a cover made for this stool.
Last year, I saw a ruffled stool cover on the blog The North End Loft and thought that something similar would fit right in our kitchen. So I had my friend Brenda who owns a local shop called Maibe Sew to whip one up for me. And I couldn't be more tickled with how it turned out.
At the same time, she made my sink skirt. I found the material at Hobby Lobby and it was rather thin, so she added lining to it. I'll have to admit that I had to convince Leo that we should take off the cabinet doors under the sink. But now that they're off and the skirt is up, he really likes it.
Normally the stool is at the end of the cabinet near the back door.
But I pulled it over to the area near the sink to show you how it looks with the sink skirt. I just think it's so darn cute!
You can see in this photo how the new stool cover and the sink skirt coordinate with the cafe curtains that I made when we first moved here.
Brenda did such a great job making this skirt. I don't have a sewing machine, and even if I did, I would not be able to make those ruffles. So I just picked out the fabrics and let Brenda do her magic.
I thought I'd flip up the skirt to show you that the ruffles are attached to drapery lining.
She even added a little padding to the stool top, which I know anyone who keeps me company in the kitchen while I cook is going to appreciate! If you have a plain 4 legged stool and would like a cover made for it, Brenda can make you one, too. All she needs is the circumference of the top and the height of the stool. Just leave a comment and I'll put you in touch with her.
My new stool cover and sink skirt are really dressing up our little country cottage, don't you think?

Looks like its a very beautiful kitchen and your update was awesome. Thanks for sharing your kitchen updates with us.

I like your idea about the kitchen updates. I think these ideas help me to update my kitchen and my kitchen also looking gorgeous after doing that.
Thanks for your great kitchen ideas. Keep sharing!

i would love to get a ruffled stool cover like this one, different colors perhaps. How can I get in touch with Brenda. I have no sewing skills but sure do LOVE LOVE LOVE your kitchen Sharon
Jane Windham
Sharon, she made my stool cover several years ago but she has since closed her shop. If you right click on a photo of the stool cover, you can save it to your computer, print it, and take it to a seamstress who will be able to figure out how to make one. That's what I did with Brenda. Good luck!
Kris @ Junk Chic Cottage

I normally am not a fan of so much color in a home or kitchen but I pinned your darling kitchen on one of my boards. Your precious décor got my attention and I really like the color combo and all the details that make your kitchen so charming. You did a wonderful job. It is so cheerful. I LOVE your adorable kitchen stool.... OMG..I hope you can put me in touch with the gal who made that for you. Much appreciation.
kathryn
Please share the information for your seamstress! I took the doors off and made a curtain with red ticking. I have an old stool that could use a "dress". Thanks for the inspiration. I've wanted to take those cabinet doors off for years. My husband was not a fan...now he is. 🙂
Thanks, Kathryn and your kitchen is cute as a bug.

laynah
Too adorable! I'm moving later this year or so and I'm hoping we get a new home with a kitchen I can make just as cute as this. This is so cute and my favorite colors, too!
sheila
Ohhh i love your kitchen !!!!!! i use the same colors though out my kitchen, dining and living room. My kitchen has 4 ft white bead board and the rest is this same green you have. all my cabinets are white.
the misfit
Visiting from Susan's Metamorphosis Monday - your kitchen is ADORABLE. I particularly and especially love the green beadboard, the sconce between the windows, and the fact that you have GOOD linoleum. (I need to get over my hatred of linoleum after spending last December ripping out mid-century linoleum and several other layers of misery to rescue my original kitchen floor.)
Ana Roat
I love the colors of your kitchen and the stool cover is so awesome! I want to find a slightly smaller stool and make a simular cover for it. I have a sweet little grandgirl that loves to hang at her nana-papa's house. My dream is to have all the wonderful vintage "touches" that remind me of grandma's house.
Thanks for the share!

Jane,
LUV your new skirt (I had featured one like it about a year ago...it's so darn cute). I have been thinking about adding a skirt to my lower cabinet too...your looks outstanding. Thank you for sharing at my party this week.
Blessings,
Linda

Your kitchen looks so beautiful! Love the stool cover! So pretty!
laurie
Jane, that stool cover is just the cutest thing ever! If I had a spot in my kitchen to put a stool, I'd be contacting your friend to make one of those covers for me. I love your fabric under the sink too. I do want to know your secret though. I've tried to talk my husband into letting me take the cabinet doors off to do this, but he says it's not practical to have to deal with fabric if you need something under the sink. (I'm not sure if he's ever even looked for anything under the sink!) Your kitchen is so charming. laurie
Becky
That is just the cutiest kitchen anywhere!!!!! I love all the patterns. You have to be gaga's over it as that has to make you just happy to enter the room!

The addition of the kitchen skirt sure does add to the overall look of your country kitchen. I think it makes the green even prettier. Now you go girl........

Love your kitchen ! I am in the process of re- decorating mine and it is both a joy and a stress! I am going for a cottage/farmhouse look and am re- doing furniture and adding pale pops of color. Yesterday I bought rectangular tablecloths that will be curtains but now I need to buy rods and rings....one purchase always leads to another! Anyway....yours is really beautiful!!
