Who wouldn't do that. We have found old bead board, barn wood from our carriage barn. This stool here was made from what we found behind the walls that had sheet rock over it. The paint is original and its grayish green and you can see the top boards are a little different shades of the color, which I love.
The other side of the painted side is absolutly stunning in patina. I think maybe next time I will use the unpainted side as its just beautiful. The stool measures 15" by 9 1/4" for the top. If you have any questions please ask.
