Re-purposing a Stool

From Broken Stool.....to .....Night Stand

This thing was wobbly and legs wouldn't stay attached to the 
metal frame and the back completely fell off...so
before I threw it on the curb....I thought
we'd try making a night stand out of it.

we had searched high and low at all the thrift stores but
couldn't find a night stand....so this will do for now...

I still have some adjustments to make...but I
don't have any good tools...I just did this
with a hand saw...think I need to take a little more
off the front leg....but I'm afraid to... hee hee
pretty soon when you start doing that...you end up
with no legs on the thing...

Can you guess what it is?

Does Anyone have a guess?


It all started when I was trying to make something 
else and it went wrong....sooo
I decided to make it into something else.

This was done with a hole saw attached to my drill...it was
just a scrap piece of wood....so ignore the other screw hole...that was from another project... 






Wait for it!!!!












Yes, it is a curling iron holder....
I first had it attached to the wall...(which is a better place) but then I moved furniture around and decided to bite the bullet and attach it to the dresser side....I wish I would have put it lower....but oh well...

As you can see....I haven't painted it yet...
